what is the state of plugin help files inside a rbx file?

Does someone use it?

I use it, but last time I tried doing anything "fancy" I noticed it choked on subdirectories, so it can be a bit of an organizational nightmare.

Last time I checked there was a problem with RB copying all 2000 help
files into a temporary folder on each launch.

Still does - not on each launch, but rather each time you view a plugin's documentation (i.e. the temp files are removed as soon as you close the help viewer).

Today I have the problem that I can't create a plugin in the required
format!? Must there be a plugin included or can I just make a Help only
plugin?

Yup, last time I tried that, it didn't work either. You might be able to get away with using empty stub libraries but the IDE probably expects more before "accepting" the plugin.

Well, that makes it not pratical for me.
2700 help files is not working in that mode.
