I think it's a reasonable approach that would appeal to some users who
would treat org as a front-end to LaTeX primarily, and obviously
previous org-ref users, and that it's better than supporting this in a
parallel but incompatible syntax.

Right.
I'm not sure what the precise right solution is, where, but something like that.
oc-biblatex, for example, has the new org-cite-biblatex-styles
defcustom, whose list entries look like:
("author" "caps" "Citeauthor*" nil nil)
So with that, a oc-biblatex user can already do this presumably.
("Citeauthor*" nil "Citeauthor*" nil nil)
But could also have a new org-ref processor with a simpler defcustom like:
("Citeauthor*" . "author/caps")
