What would "it" be here?

Org-ref, or pieces of it?

In any case, I was thinking previewing of some sort would be valuable
initially, and as Andras noted, citeproc-el is well-positioned to provide
that.

But it would be natural to potentially want to enhance that functionality
later, as your mention of "extensibility" suggests.

I do in general imagine that org-cite will provide a foundation for smaller
packages that can enhance the functionality in flexible ways; not so much
large monolithic packages, even if those are also possible.
