That's great. Adding DOI and ISSN to types will be a big help. I would not drop the pages requirement, however, as some Supplements provide numbers in their citations. Sometimes the numbering is separate, as for a monograph, and other times it…

There is no question an "uncontrolled proliferation of types" here. A reasonably complete and short list has been provided by the LOC, as linked above. The point is that a broadly established and commonly used type from this list are missing in Zote…

The idea "should be OK" is not necessarily the reassurance one would like for a mission-critical application. I'm already at that limit, and desktop databases of terabytes should be anticipated in the near future. As for the storage directory, …
