    (let ((no-thrill (lambda (o c _) (or c (org-element-property :value o)))))
      (org-export-create-backend
       :parent 'ascii           ;or `hugo', depending on what you mean
       :transcoders (mapcar (lambda (type) (cons type no-thrill))
                            '(bold code italic strike-through underline verbatim))))

Five locs. Not bad either.

So far, no major back-end needs this. Also, it is very simple to provide
the back-end above.

You're basically describing `ox-ascii' with stripped emphasis markers.
At this point, I'm not convinced we need this in Org proper.
