Thanks for the info!
So, we can have something like
:transient-non-suffix 'leave
and then pressing something that is not bound to a suffix or infix will
run the parent keymap command, automatically leaving transient state.

I think it is addressed in the example patch I shared. There, we pass
around the original function arguments via macro expansion (!arg-name)
["Open" ("b" "bibliography entry" (org-cite-basic-goto !citation !prefix))]

This is also partially solved. We do use :setup-children, although the
initial implementation simply reads user customization into menu layout.
I believe that we can read a keymap in similar way and generate
transient layout automatically.

May you please elaborate?
