I have a couple of initial concerns that you could address if your
spin-off thread if you like.

- Sat you can envision better code for a particular piece of org syntax.
  Why is a better to have it in an external latex-package than directly in
  the org files?  If it lives somewhere else, I have to bug you when I
  want to change something.  What if you get bored of this?

- What happens when you cannot maintain it any longer?  Note also that the
  scope is somewhat different as a typical latex package solves a problem
  like "provide good tables" or "enhance itemize 2e" (ei2e).  Such
  packages are fairly easy to replace (e.g. sugfigure → subcaption).

- I don't want latex code generated by org to a "special flavor" like with
  LyX.

- Why can the issues you have in mind not be solved by a specialized
  derived backend?  Such as ox-beamer or ox-koma-letter.

Thanks,
Rasmus
