Maybe you can use org-element-at-point and advice org-return?

I don't understand this. Do you know M-{left,right}? Again, you could
advice org-return.
In LO it removes the bullet. Here you can use C-S-Backspace. Bonus: it
works everywhere!

This is like C-S-Backspace C-p C-e. You could advice org-delete-backward.

It should be trivial to support using org-element-at-point.

OK...

No. And I doubt it should be. But Emacs is /your/ extensible editor.
