I can't respond to your specific issue, but just to throw another potential 
into the mix, the Typst team made their own YAML bibliography format and 
toolset:

https://github.com/typst/hayagriva

They have a CLI to convert to BibLaTeX, which Pandoc can read, so that may 
be one solution depending on how you feel about the Hayagriva data model...
