Description
## Summary
As an example, when using a standalone plugin like Jetpack Social on a site connected to WordPress.com, the Sharing Buttons (which require Jetpack proper) can't be enabled from Calypso and give a non-helpful error:

An additional example I noticed was trying to modify the the SEO settings (also requires Jetpack plugin) on `https://wordpress.com/marketing/traffic/example.com`
**We should audit other Calypso use cases here and work on improving messaging or updating the logic on those pages to account for sites with a full Jetpack connection, but not using the Jetpack plugin.**

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Sharing Buttons flow in Calypso with Jetpack Social installed, then check the SEO settings at wordpress.com/marketing/traffic/example.com. Audit the other Calypso use cases affected by a full Jetpack connection without the Jetpack plugin. Done means those pages either account for the connection state or show helpful messaging instead of the current error.
