[The Matrix] Did the doctors and engineers in Zion have the know-how to surgically implant those "plugs" into regular Zion-born people? That way they wouldn't have to risk going into the Matrix to recruit new people.

It's more complicated than that. The plugs are attached to the human body as it develops in an artificial womb. They're connected to the nervous system because the two systems have grown together during gestation. You can't remove them without crippling or killing the host and you can't implant them after they're born.
