It's easy enough to add and we should keep the default minimal. Though
microtype is certainly a package I would not mind imposing on people.

I think you might be right, but I haven't looked into it.

I thought it was needed for some symbols, but it seems it might not be.

No, the manual notes it has comparability with amsmath build it. It
installs them under \varint and friends.

It's already pretty easy. I bind org-latex-pdf-process to the desired
engine via latexmk in my file. I also wrap fontenc and inputenc in
\ifpdftex\else\fi or whatever. In any case, betterᵀᴹ support for xelatex
would be nice.

You can use babel with xelatex.
