this seems a bit silly. Ardour3 supports device specific MIDI binding maps
in which you could specify the sysex messages and what they control (mostly)

no, this is not true. ardour listens on 3818 by default., your app opens up
a random UDP port and sends to 3818. ardour finds out where your app is,
and replies to it.

or maybe i am misunderstanding.

generic MIDI means !sysex

you need a binding map:
