A bit of routine work will alleviate some user issues:

The initial list of style-command mappings was pretty comprehensive,
but we left out some of the more obscure biblatex commands because
unsure if they were needed, or how best to add them (conceptually
there's a mix of different kinds of commands in biblatex, which are
hard to fit into a more general style system, for example).
Since then:
- people have occasionally asked to add new mappings, and Nicolas has added them
- he's also added the styles defcustoms for biblatex, so users can do
this themselves
In short, I think we're good on this actually.

I don't know the equivalent of \citenum in CSL.
From my point of view it may be a reason to add a new style to
defaults. It is important whether a tool works out of the box. Custom
variables make a document less portable unless they are specified as
file-local ones. I think, the goal may be formulated as "John can not
say the following any more" (at least in respect to citations leaving
aside cross-references):
I simply cannot
compromise on the capability org-ref provides me, or wait for an
alternative complete solution in org-mode.
On the other hand I do not consider the following argument as a strong one
I do not like the abstraction away from LaTeX cite commands in org-cite.
This is an example of a compromise between LaTeX and CSL.
despite I believe that convenience and habits are important. Mapping of
styles to commands is just a piece of knowledge.
I have no particular opinion if enough efforts should be invested from
both sides to allow mixing on both citation syntax constructs (org-cite
and org-ref) in the same document. Bruce, you made a lot for support of
CSL in org-cite, so I will stressed another direction of feature
comparison since Bib(La)TeX users should feel themselves first-class
citizens.
The choice between org-ref and org-cite, when the former can do its job,
should be matter of taste and personal preferences unrelated to
technical limitations.
