Are there any legacy python scripts (e.g. Camera Panel 2014, etc.) available? Would like to use PICK if it's updated to the latest python version. Also, is there a fast and easier way to import libraries from various runtimes?

Updating the python scripts is original author. Some scripts are an easy update some are not. There is a Python that will link the runtimes from an older version of Poser to the current version.
Here's a link to it from my Dropbox:

You will find Snarlygribbly's own scripts updated for Poser 12 on Cobrablade.

Y-Phil, yes, I noticed that from yesterday's reading. It's all good. Just have to put the EZSkin and EZDome kits together in my runtime.

Nerd, I thank you and Y-Phil again for the suggestion. 1 Question, where do I install this script? In the PoserScript /Menu section or the main Python folder in Poser 12?

You may either install in a sub-folder of Poser's Poserscript folder, to access it directly from Poser's menu, or you may customize the Python Scripts Toolbox, example:
In the case of the Python Scripts Toolbox, you have the control, using a list of sub-folders, to build a full, custom toolbox

Installed and ran. Got the following errors:
An error occurred importing addon dson :
ERROR: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.
An error occurred importing addon EZMat :
ERROR: bad magic number in 'EZMat': b'\x03\xf3\r\n'
An error occurred importing addon Reality :

An error occurred importing addon ShaderWorks Scripts Menu :

I'm not a code writer or genius of any sort, so I welcome your advice in this matter.

"ERROR: bad magic number in" means that you are trying to run a compiled Python script, often a .pyc, using the wrong Python version.
Poser12 uses Python 3.7 whereas Poser11 and previous versions are using Python2.7 scripts.
Same origin for the errror on the 'print' command: in Python3.x, print is not a command anymore but a function, thus needing to write if print("Hi!") for example.
"ERROR: DLL load failed": forget about dson with Poser12. You'll have to use Poser11 (dson uses Python2.x, and Daz refuses categorically to either update it or to let anybody update it).
Note that both Poser version can coexist on your system: install them in different folders. IN my case, Poser11 lies in "c:\program files\..." whereas Poser12 is launched from "p:\poser\poser12\..."
Something else you will have to check: often, in "Runtime\Python\addons", whatever the Poser version, you may find a list of modules that are automatically loaded when the said Poser version is launched.
In each subfolder of this "addons\", you may find a file named __init__.py or __init__.pyc
This will instruct Poser's Python to load them.
If Poser12 encounters such a folder that is for Python2.7, chances are that it won't load, resulting in one of the encountered errors.
The solution: either find an updated version or remove the sub-folder from there.
In my case, for example, I have one called OctaneRender and Poser12's default PythonShell.
Poser11: there's dson, EZMat, KinectCapture and Poser11's default PythonShell.
Start investigating in the folder where the executable lies. I'm writing as my installation has all the runtimes in a dedicated folder, on an SSD drive, and both Poser version have their runtimes collection in common.

Y-Phil, thanks for the eye-opening explanation of the errors. Seems it would be better for me to simply just forget about trying to get the legacy scripts running in any shape or form in Poser 12 at this time. I don't think any of the authors, such as Netherwork will be updating their fine scripts from Poser Pro 2014. Really did love the Camera Panel and oh, don't get me started on the PICK from YUR digital. That was pure genius of a script. I am heartbroken that I can't use Reality in Poser 11. Simply won't load. I guess, it's now an abandonware because it needs to connect with the creator's server (Phone Home). Guess I'll have to settle for using Poser 11 or if I can find my older versions of Poser in storage, I might be able to use them for the starter base, then render in Poser 12 Superfly.
One thing for sure, tho. I won't be in a hurry to upgrade to the newest and latest version of Poser when It comes out. I'll wait for the dust to settle. In the meantime, I'll just go ahead and just keep using 11. Hey, it ain't broken...

Camera panel plus... yes: I used to love some parts of it.
And, I've writing my own tools within Poser12.
Just in case, you will find excellent tools here, to be used with Poser12 and I'm pretty sure that they will be upgraded for the soon-to-be-release Poser13

It's basically all the Ken1171 products that are found here in Rendo.
