Not necessarily.  I could do:

   (defun rasmus/gentive-citation (citation-element backend)
          (case backend ...) ...)

   (add-to-list 'org-cite-types 'rasmus/gentive-citation )

E.g. for genitive citations such as "Smith's (1984) model", which can be
mostly emulated using primitives (:author and :year) if biblatex is not
available.

Perhaps.  But then we are back at not having proper support across
backends—which might be unavoidable in any case.  Yet, aim high!
