Of course it can play vcd - I just helped a guy get his Plextor working
last week. Apparently Plextor do not support the READ_CD command,
so for reading VCD sectors we have to use plain READ_10 and switch
block sizes in between.
But this issue is entirely separate to the drive failing a MODE_6
for page 0x2a - the cap page.

I'd very much like to get in touch with Plextor, if you have a contact
there please let me know (in private).
