The schematic editor is less stable in terms of internals and there are some important changes happening with regards to sheet storage. I had not started on the schematic API because we should not release any API until we can consider it stable to support, and it is harder to chase a moving target.
It would be fine if you wanted to work on it but the caveat is that I don't think it should be merged if any of the parts that you expose are potentially going to change in incompatible ways. So, I suggest starting small (for example, creating/updating any object types other than symbols). Please tag me for review of any proposed protobuf changes. There is no documentation other than what is already at dev-docs.kicad.org so please reach out if you are unsure about something.
