Bibtex.el is not that hard to configure. I think I have something like
this to configure FIRSTAUTHOR-YY (without the hyphen):
(setq bibtex-autokey-titlewords 0
bibtex-autokey-titlewords-stretch 0
bibtex-autokey-titleword-length 0
bibtex-autokey-edit-before-use nil)
But this only works on new keys and I wouldn't want "old" .bib file not
working.

But Org is also a format. I have for instance written limited Org support
for texworks.
For people who do not have the luxury of using Emacs easy syntax matters.
Personally, I think the benefit of short citations is large.
I think allowing different characters if the least bad solution. Inline
footnotes are also limited compared to footnote-definitions, so perhaps it
is not that bad...
