Drawing 8 directions per frame for animations feels a bit too much. Would it be possible to also support just 4 directions as an option? (Skip the diagonals)

Sprite Lamp for example needs only 4 and it looks great in the end, but that is an external tool and not an Aseprite plugin.

8 layers are needed only for a high-quality gradient transition. 
The conversion script doesn't care how much has been done. 
You can simply skip 4 layers of diagonals or, conversely, draw only diagonal light. 
Or even display the light from only one side on one display.
