I would use a templating system for things that are easy to template
(html/xml) and where more complex logic can be offloaded to a real
programming language like python (as zpt does).

Using a templating system for a programming language is I think a
different programming paradigm than zope's component architecture and
contrary to code reusage. With code generators like ArchGenXML or agx
you are able to create models for your software on a more abstract level
than based on templating, so I would not use templating but model-based
code generation instead.
