I hear you. Based on my experience with what my peers poke me for help with, a considerable amount can be done with just support for the most common features:
GeoTIFF, GeoJSON, CRS/projection support (OpenLayers handles this quite well already), tabular and spatial joins, filters, buffer/intersect.
A concern I think we share is that you'll always need that one, less common feature to get to the finish line. This may be. But I haven't found it to be the case as often as I worried. A lot of questions are really just about "how does X relate to Y?" where the linkage is space, time, or some other attribute.
