I wonder if one could just script the api-calls required to get them back.

Honestly, this seems like such a no-brainer fix. The system tray is sometimes the only way you can tell that certain programs are running or performing tasks. Someone at Microsoft had to actually take the time to remove a function that I'm pretty sure has been present since XP. This is right up there with changing the four basic edit commands into meaningless unlabeled icons. This regressive push towards hieroglyphics and mystery interfaces needs to stop.
