Almost everything is possible in theory, but I don't feel we need that redundancy. 
Why couldn't otb extendedFilename mechanisme be extended to support setting nodata through GDALSetNoDataValue(),
with a gdal:nodata=value syntax ?

You don't need to use subprocess.call() to use gdal_translate functionnality.
