I just mention how is implemented in cinnamon. This is one way that is proved. Is not the only one way. Drag and drop extension to some position as a user request just is mentions as one of the possibility that this way will provided.
Clone the actors (is make another instance of the actor only). If you do not clone the extension on deep (and just you clone the actor), you sure will have a lot of problems. For example, where will be displayed the menu of the actor that only have one instances? You can not prevent all possibilities that a third-party extension could introduced.

I just commented here, because as a user, won have the possibility of set the panels in all possible places and not have the possibility of set the actors inside the panels in all places of all panels, is the thing that i considered is more important, and the big missing pieces. This could be only possible if this come with the shell as a default option. Because this is exactly the type of thing that defined how flexible is a desktop from the user. Implement just one more possibility (panels in all monitors), is a good related start, but for same rason, panels in others positions are also important. Move the Actors to several positions inside the panel, is less important, but also very useful to avoid conflicts, because then non extensions will need to override another just to get his places.

Anyway that's was my two cents, nothings more than that.
