Yes, I think extending also for rotational coordinates. Currently, it is
possible to add rotational coordinates easily but as you know it is a
bit different than the translational coordinates(rotations are not
vector quantities!). I have found a paper here[1] that discusses the
integration of the rotational equations of motion. Fortunately, it
requires only a little modification.
About your question, I do not have benchmark or paper about this. But my
point of view is; although, symplectic Euler scheme might be fine for
the energy preserving simulation of discrete elements, but I think, its
implementation, namely, the NewtonIntegrator does not provide well
usability. The most important part is the lack of adaptive integration
where the step size is unpredictable for my cases.

I plan to commit it after I finish the implementation and check
correctness in a few days.
