IIRC pandoc does not try to convert "and others" from bibtex or biblatex to CSL since the CSL specs just don’t seem to support abbreviating a list of authors with a placeholder - and I for one can’t really think of a sensible way of handling this automatically.

In effect, CSL assumes that it’s always possible to include a full list of authors in one’s database. Unless the names of the "others" are genuinely unobtainable, I guess that would be the way to go in this case, too.

What CSL does support is abbreviating lists of authors when formatting bibliographies. So if the number of authors seems too large to be included in the output, one could always try to find (or modify) a CSL style that renders an abbreviated list only.
