As I recently learned (thanks to this list!), biblatex supports .bib
files.  So switching to biblatex is not an issue from this perspective:
you can continue to drop bibtex-compatible citation information into
your .bib file and use it with biblatex.

If ox-bibtex reads .bib files, that should continue to work, too.

Best,
