Not sure if this is easy/hard/impossible, but I'd like a scripted way to toggle the "Show Wi-Fi status in menu bar" setting from the Network preferences screen. I think this uses the defaults system and updates something like NSStatusItem Visible com.apple.menuextra.airport" = 1; but I don't know the proper incantation to simulate the Preferences Pane behavior via command line.
"com.apple.systemuiserver" = {
"NSStatusItem Visible Siri" = 0;

"NSStatusItem Visible com.apple.menuextra.bluetooth" = 1;
