Manage serverwide ssh configuration through GUI
There is an extension for managing user ssh keys. However it does not work as "click and use", because I have to manually edit the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file (to turn off password authetication and other).
So, the ability to manipulate with serverwide sshd configuration through UI is what I need.
That can be implemented in scope of extension "SSH Key Manager".

Support for Helicon Ape
Helicon Ape is a great tools for the support of .htaccess with IIS. I was really surprised, that Plesk does not support it yet.
We like to move from WSP to Plesk, but we need support For Helicon Ape.
Plesk should allow to edit .htaccess from the UI.

Autosave a shadow copy (local storage perhaps) of an ongoing edited file to prevent data loss in case of session timeout
My suggestion lies on the fact that I indeed lost my work on a php file that was open in the code editor, when I absent-mindedly pushed the "Apply" button on the text editor and realized with horror that my admin session timed out and I was returned to the unmodified version of the file once logged back in.
It would be convenient to autosave in the background ongoing changes of a text file that is bound to change once opened in the editor, in order to prevent data loss.

Backup manager: Include Docker Volumes
Some of my dockers are inside the sites' folders, inside httpd, but some have different permissions or user groups that sometimes do not allow the volume to be backed up, an example was postgresql, you can test, if there is even one advice on how you could add permission to the user or the system that makes the backup so that they can copy the files, for example.
Furthermore, it would be great to get a backup of the container volumes, I believe this would make pleks the only one and come out ahead of the other panels.

Custom HTTP methods on Windows Servers
Only when Plesk creates a website will it create this entry at the website level in IIS in the handler mappings, pointing to this file "php-cgi.exe"
There is no PHP handler in the IIS root that allows me to configure the allowed verbs and that can be propagated to websites.
When Plesk creates a website, it has a set of settings that it applies to the website, which includes the creation of the handler to interpret .php files, the path of the executable that it installed itself and the allowed verbs.
I know that after creating a website and only at the website level I can change the verbs in IIS.
There should be a Plesk configuration file or option where you can define which PHP framework verbs (GET, UPDATE, POST, OPTIONS, etc) are allowed when a website is created.

Supply versions of Apache newer than provided by OS vendors
Currently, Plesk supports Apache from the Linux vendor and does not provide its own Apache build. For example, CentOS 6 has Apache 2.2 by default.
Based on the article comment it would be good to have more recent Apache version in use: https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/213901685?page=1#comment_360001830960
Apache 2.4.6 was released in 2013 (!) in the meantime the latest version is Apache 2.4.46 (august 2020).
I understand Plesk cannot update Apache every time to a newer version, however still running 2.4.6 is a bit absurd.Furthermore there are quite a few CVE fixes in the newer versions along with several new performance tweaks / options.
So I would urge Plesk to update Apache to something more modern. This should be possible for at least CentOS 7.x (I understand that for CentOS 6.x the urge is lower, as it will become EOL by the end of the year).
Sidenote; I noticed Plesk with CentOS 8.x is running on Apache/2.4.37. So it should be possible for CentOS 7.x as well imho.
I also checked our DirectAdmin servers and even the older ones like with CentOS 6.x are running modern versions of Apache (e.g. Apache/2.4.41). So I don't understand why Plesk is lacking in this department. Especially considering Plesk is a premium control panel interface and should be modern in all ways.
