I'll keep an eye on the fontTools release pages and will update the fontTools update code if they no longer release .whl files.
(I've also embedded fonttools 3.32.0 in the latest plugin version.)

For what it's worth, I'm seeing a wheel file for fontTools 3.32.0 on PyPi.org. That's what pip would use when installing. But PyPi wouldn't be that easy to query for updates (or to get the download link). Not sure why they would stop publishing the .whl file on github. Perhaps they're relying on PyPi to create it for them from the source tarball they upload.
The wheel files are fairly trivial to build. Perhaps you could fork the fontTools repo and upload your own release wheels file to it. That way you could control the upgrade process of your plugin.
