I'm not sure that's necessary; it probably doesn't really matter in practice.

Perhaps you can reassess once pandoc itself is updated, so you don't
have to worry about writing and maintaining special code to do this?

FWIW, org-cite seems partially inspired by the pandoc citation model
and syntax, but is a superset of it (pandoc has no global affixes;
also doesn't have styles, though does have sort of boolean feature
flags). I'm not sure how pandoc itself will handle that difference.
