IIRC, cross-referencing is straightforward. It should just work.

The OP is probably talking about @heading and al.
There is actually no way to specify such a "nodeless" heading (more
exactly, an unnumbered heading that doesn't appear in the table of
contents), because I couldn't find any appealing syntax (i.e., not too
low level, and, if possible, generic enough).
I agree this is the last major issue in this export back-end.

What it sophisticated referencing? "ox-texinfo" supports internal and
external links without specific syntax. @pxref and @xref is just
syntactic sugar over @ref.
"ox-texinfo.el" supports @email, @ref and @uref.

IMO, advanced marking is not needed, at least out of the box. For
example, @address@hidden in Texinfo is morally equivalent to ~M-<TAB>~
in Org, as long as the document targets info.
If you absolutely need @kbd, you can use a macro.
