my concern would be personal code and 3rd-party packages, which might
have their own peculiar parsing.

that parsing might even be of non-org files with org syntax that is
embedded in another syntax.  [like, parsing diffs of org, with
planning line tses and perhaps trying to accommodate various user
settings for org indentation where possible.]

if otoh org provides really good api that can even do that, then i
suppose you could tell those devs to use that api.

also my personal preference is for less new org syntax.  which is one
reason why i like cl-style sexp kw for future features and
subfeatures.  syntax can be hard to look up in the org manual, hard to
remember, etc.  but that's mho.
