As a Visual Pinball amateur, I was thinking about adding rigged meshes to the table, but once I tried to upload the mesh, the armature of the model didn't load in, and animating separate parts seems pretty complicated too. 
I think that adding compatibility with rigged meshes to Visual Pinball X could open lots of new possibilities for table creators, for example adding animated characters and many other dynamic objects, that can greatly improve the design of the table. 
The idea came from the game called Pinball FX, developed by Zen Studios, where all tables have either animated characters or other dynamic objects on the table, making the game a lot more appealing for players.
