reference metadata in a single place, away from the wikitext. Defining refs with a "refname" in the text doesn't seem too bad... other than the mess of trying to get a different stylistic system going, is there some reason we don't do this?

I cannot see anything positive in that refname system. It is complicated to the user and invites people to indicate less thoroughly were the information comes from (dropping page numbers, because it's the same book). There is absolutely no problem to copy the full reference information into the ref, making it independent from other refs and from "Literature".
