What do you mean by non support of hard breaks?
We support hard line breaks, but not hard page breaks.
You should be able to insert page breaks using a lua
filter, though.  (You'd need to figure out exactly
what openxml code to insert as raw openxml.)

For some of the relevant discussion, see

https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/pull/805
https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/pull/3230
https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/issues/1934

It's not so much about putting in the time to
implement as making the decisions about how
to do so.

You can put a footer in the reference.docx.
