Hmm. (looking-back (sentence-end)) perhaps? Or if thatʼs overkill
"\\(?: \\|\\.\n\\)"
(I did wonder why thereʼs no (sentence-beginning))

If I have text like this:
word one
word two
^
with point where the ^ is, then we need to skip backwards until we
reach whitespace, otherwise we insert the ref in the middle of a word.
If we have this:
word one
word two
^
Then we donʼt want to skip backwards, since we'll end up before 'one',
hence we need to check for bol first. Similar reasoning applies for
eol.
I strongly suspect you'll now either ask for this to be explained in
the code and the docstring, or show me a single line of code that
achieves the same effect, thus providing me with another Emacs 'Aha!'
moment.

Of course. Something like this, which will also go in the doc string.
** Texinfo
*** New function for inserting @pxref, @xref, or @ref commands
The function 'texinfo-insert-dwim-@ref', bound to 'C-c C-c r' by
default, inserts one of the three types of references based on the text
surrounding point, namely @pxref after a parenthesis, @xref at the
start of a sentence, else @ref.
