One feature I have always found helpful when working on long documents
is paragraph folding; where paragraphs are folded to display just the
first line.
MS Word had this very early on in its outline view, for example.
I can get paragraph folding and unfolding in org using packages like
origami (say with origami-toggle-all-nodes), but I was wondering if
there's a way to easily add it to org visibility cycling?

How would that work? I.e.,
- what key,
- how does it integrate with folding cycling, if it does at all?

My question was based on the idea to do the latter.
Right now, I just keybindings for origami-toggle-all-nodes origami-toggle-node.
But I was thinking to have this folding as a step between disclosing
all headings, and disclosing everything.
Does that make sense?

There could be elements between headlines and paragraphs, e.g., a drawer
or a block. Why would you fold the paragraphs without taking care of the
intermediate levels. Moreover, it adds steps in TAB cycle, which makes
it slower.
I'm not sure this is a great idea to add that to the global cycling
mechanism. Or maybe the global cycling should be configurable, e.g., as
a list of symbols that can be expanded with TAB. It could be complicated
to handle intermediate steps, as explained above.
As a data point, I wouldn't like to have to hit TAB five times before
returning to the original visibility state.

I would treat them the same; fold at the same step.

Agreed. In my case here, I was imagining adding a single step.
But why I asked; wasn't sure how good an idea it was.
