I raised a similar question awhile back, and am not sure the best approach.

But to give some context:

The current styles in the core processors are designed for portability;
they are not natbib or biblatex or CSL styles, but org styles that can be
mapped to those targets in more-or-less consistent ways.

This is tricky to do, in part because of inconsistencies; in particular
between natbib and biblatex.

Which is to say, in some cases the style mappings might be enhanced or
modified.

But I agree there should be some kind to fallback, in particular for
biblatex, which has an insane amount of commands.
