Ideally we'd have some kind of general API that other people could build upon. Like Pandas ExtensionsArrays or so.
Personally I think the only doable option in the current list is "ensure that the formats are reasonably popular" but it's not ideal.
In principle I think it is good to support as many formats as possible as getting data into the right format can be very frustrating for users. However there will be a limit of what we are willing to maintain as core team members.
Possible solutions

module for "community maintained" IO functions vs. "core-team maintained" functions.
