I support this, but for the record, the citation plugin doesn’t require you to have a note for each citation (I use that plugin a lot). You can insert a [@citekey] citation without having a note for it, and it also automatically adds the bracket. Or, you can also insert a [[citekey]] link for a note if you have one, but these are 2 different commands.
I don’t use Zotero, but with bibdesk, you also don’t need to export and re-import your bibliography each time; you just add an entry, and the library re-loads automatically. I’m not sure how it works with Zotero.
(I think a lot of people who do research use pandoc or something for generating the final bibliography. While writing in markdown is far better than writing in latex, I wouldn’t produce a final text in .md.)
