stand-ins are technically supposed to be for PCs only (for now), but if you create a "PC" stand-in on the Cast Members screen rather than the PCs and Players screen, you can use it in scripts just like any other NPC or monster cast member.
but you're right, stand-ins have some major limitations when it comes to special abilities. currently you can assign them Feats, but not spells or class abilities. for now i track any special abilities (like the Caustic Wolf's acid immunity and Howl) by writing them out in the Notes section of the stand-in, but i agree it's not ideal.
