I am not even sure if we need to make Org open mid: links via

Do you know an alternative?

I am mostly concerned that channelling mid: links to browse-url will not
work (open empty page in browser) in most cases. This is more confusing
than not having mid: link handler at all.
For me it may be a reason to not enable to enable "mid:" links by
default, but I am still considering `browse-url' as the proper handler.
Code to determine handler is platform-specific, e.g. for Linux
xdg-mime query default x-scheme-handler/mid
xdg-settings get default-url-scheme-handler mid
The latter actually calls the former. I would avoid both variants during
load time.
If you get browser fallback then you are advanced enough user to avoid a
DE. Gnome shows application selection dialog, KDE throws an error window.
