Multiple folders shouldn't be an issue. It shouldn't be an issue activating KODI to scan for new library entries either (there is a function and I was expecting to implement it). The only onus on the scraping is that the user sets up the folder as a media folder and tells KODI what to expect in it. After that, any updatelibrary call on that directory from a plugin should get it to scrape new files into KODI automatically.

the interesting question here is how to get the media info (resolution, audio tracks etc.) into the .nfo files, because Kodi has no way to read it out, doesn't it?

For STRM files, it is passed from the plugin to KODI. You'll notice these items can recognized by KODI when the file is played back.

Yes when the file is played back.
I was talking about a way this information is being shown in Kodi video database/movie list.
