I'm not really sure we need bare substyles at all. At least in biblatex
it's the basis for the other commands.
Though see my followup message on autocite config.
Does that change this discussion?
Why?
I put it in the form of a question, because I'm not sure, but ...
1. I wasn't sure Nicolas was aware of this config option, nor how one
would configure it currently (but it seems necessary in general)
cite/year => \citeyear won't work as this will just print the year
without wrapping it in parentheses. It also won't trigger the ibid. in
the next citation.
cite/bare = \cite would also work in that particular citation, but an
author might remove the preceding sentence, which will make the ibid.
disappear. You will then have a regular bare citation (= "Doe 2020", or
"Doe, Title") instead of just the year or the title in parentheses.
OK, this is one of those nuances; I need to think on this one.
