FL 5.1.5 build 5714 and OS 10.12.4: Robofab scripts won't work anymore despite reinstalling everything. There are different error messages either saying robofab.objects doesn't work or dialogs_fontlab_legacy2 can't be imported. Anyone have any idea?

You can also report problems there.
Here is a video by Ben Kiel explaining how to install those components.
I have seen easy_install and homebrew mess up systems really bad. If this is the case, you probably need to clean out all the Python stuff on your system and start fresh.
Is it safe to uninstall Python since Time Machine won't let me restore an older version?
However, the built-in FL dialogs are causing problems. That could actually be related to what version (and build) of FontLab you are running.
Personally I am using FL 5.1.5 (build 5680) and that one works on El Capitan.
FL is 5.1.5, build 5714, on Sierra.
I recommend to try different builds of FontLab (such as 5680) because that seems to be the problem now.
Regarding your Python installations, try to remove the folder ‘Python.framework’ in /Library/Frameworks/, that should revert everything to using Apple’s preinstalled Python. But proceed at your own risk ...
Interestingly robofab installer puts robofab.pth in "Fremeworks/Python" but FL looks in "Lib/Python" for it.
