But you're willing to prepend `M-3' every time you want to look up

That's not bad, but it sounds like too much micromanagement to me. In
any other editor, it would be accompanied by a dedicated UI, at least. I
don't know if even Helm would cut it.
So, I'd rather see this as a minor mode. Maybe a package in ELPA?
Personally, I expect "serious" backends to either replace the need for
etags entirely, or delegate to them and collect the results internally.

That new minor mode could offer a capability to simply switch to a
different source, temporarily, or just for one command. And keep the
history of already-configured sources.
A source configuration would not just be limited to the xref- vars,
though. If you want to consult certain tag tables only sometimes, those
sources would store the value of tags-table-list, for instance. And
restore it upon quitting.

Added.
