I'd like to propose an addition to the table syntax that would allow for
text wrapping in tables, I personally have myself managing
very large org tables, and having to scroll through them is often
cumbersome. As a result, I often yearn for greater control over how I
format my tables.

Org-mode Frequently Asked Questions
Will there ever be support for multiple lines in a table field?
No.
You can embed tables created with the table.el package in org-mode
buffers, with mixed success when it comes to export and publishing.

Would it be so bad if org-mode decides to stop supporting table.el tables?
I don't see the benefit of supporting both Org tables and tables.el tables,
and it calls for confusion.
There is org-table-wrap-region function that could help to type text
occupying several cell, but the result will not become single cell
during export.
I have seen several threads related to multiline cells, e.g.
https://orgmode.org/list/f2e9aaacd51ee95dcc696ed9485741dde1067340.camel@sindominio.net/T/#u
org-cell in org-table with a list or a new paragraph
or proposal of another extension:

Tables: missing multi-col/row syntax
As to MultiMarkdown, the link that you posted says
Cell content must be on one line only
Personally I do not mind to have paragraph-like cells, but I am afraid
that it requires a lot of work to support export, feeding src blocks,
alignment.
