Advancedskeleton just moved to an all-joint basic setup. Corrective blendshapes can be created by hand afterward. I think this is a bit more modern.

Advancedskeleton uses a setup very similar to this for eyelids. https://vimeo.com/66583205

It uses a ribbon controller to drive the lips like this one. http://www.joshsobelrigs.com/expressive-facial-rigging I think mGear has an auto-lip-rigger you could snip some code from, since it is permissively licensed.

I haven't tried rigging anything with the new version yet, but I'm wondering how it differs under the hood. One of the coolest things in the old system was that it used an nCloth simulation to generate blendshapes for the eyebrows.

I know it's not scripting blendshapes, but I'd recommend having a look at mGear. It's a bit of a different approach, but you might still find it handy.

Here's an example video that comes to mind https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wh4A-Et2qw&t=1s
