Don't have much bandwidth where i am on vacation, but for humanists a more
robust and reproducible export to odt and html is org's main weakness, I
think. Zotxt is great but takes a bit if setting up, and of course zotero
refa are less portable than bibtex libraries. Moving to org-ref probably
makes sense but lack of built-in odt support makes that a bit intimidating,
esp for a zotero user whose bibtex setup is a little inflexible.
I hope you post your slides!
