There is absolutely nothing wrong with plastic mechanical action parts in a piano! The same kind of plastic is used in many industrial machines. Plastic parts can be made more uniform in weight and shape, compared to wood, and they are impervious to changes in humidity. They DO NOT adversely affect the tone of a piano.
