I am in the same fix -- writing in Org but needing to submit most things in Word. Damned annoying. It really would be nice to see Org get the references/bibliography problem fixed up properly. The Pandoc version of Markdown does it well. As you note, bibtex and csl is a killer combination. Org is so nice to use for authoring that I can't give it away. I have a book manuscript due in May and currently all my citations are using the [[cite: key]] format with ox-bibtex. It is far from satisfactory and I'm sure that May will see me tearing my hair out (what little is left).
