Is there a way with this plugin to remove all books from my Goodreads shelf that are no longer in my library? Going through them manually will be a HUGE chore since I deleted about 500 books from a 6000 book library.
I think you're out of luck. Calibre now has no way to tell what books you did have in Goodreads.

Do you have a unique shelf on Goodreads for books in your Calibre library? If so, you could sync from that shelf to a new Calibre tag, creating new entries for every book not found. Then remove that tag from all the books that have the original tag. Now you have the set of books that were deleted. Sync that tag back to a different shelf (50 at a time). Finally go to Goodreads and do whatever you want to the books on that shelf...

Next time you do this add a tag to all the books you want to delete (say "TBD"), sync TBD to Goodreads, then go to Goodreads do whatever you want to those books, and finally delete all the books tagged TBD in Calibre.
