By "this" I take it you mean: what would I want the Works table to do as
part of cutting the CSG Gordian Knot?
I would like to see expert CSG editors build up finely-crafted Work Trees
for classical and opera works, with the Work titles that can be re-used as
Recording or Track titles. Of course, the Work entities would have to
correspond to track boundaries which recordings usually use.
Then I'd like a "Works-first" Add Release wizard. This would let an editor,
even one who doesn't know the CSG well, find the Work Tree that their
Release presents, and move Work Titles into Recording Titles. From there,
the titles become Track Titles. What would the UI be? A great question. We
need to design it. Getting good Classical support for novice editors is a
long road, we won't get there in one step.

Agreed. "When the rest of the system is ready enough". Including the
relevant Style guidelines.
