This is more tricky. I do very much like what ConTeXt has to offer for typesetting finished works, but I currently would not use it for writing a larger work in the Humanities. For smaller pieces I would probably write in Markdown, use pandoc to produce a context source file, and pandoc will me automatic citations via pandoc-citeproc (yet with a few glitches). For a longer work I currently don't have an alternative to biblatex. And I guess that is the point: Those with rather complex requirements for citations will either do them manually or use biblatex for this so it's not so easy to say if "there is a need". Having said that, I would really like being able to use ConTeXt here as well. So having a author-title style for the footnotes and the bibliographies would be more than welcome.
Honestly, some way to use CSL files to style bibliography would be ideal here, but that doesn't seem to currently exist
