 would possibly need custom installer to correct path
 (`composer/installers` currently support WP themes and plugins, but not
 core itself explicitly).

 Agreed. Custom install paths for core should be managed by end users
 anyway.

 The only other path we would arguably customize would be the vendor-dir in
 the case of the WP composer manifest being used as the root manifest in
 order to use a custom install path for 3rd party libs used directly by
 WordPress core. But that's only if WP started depending on Composer to
 pull in 3rd party deps (for development, they'd obviously be pre-bundled
 for zip distribution still), and even if that happened, WP doesn't have
 any reason not to use the default "vendor" path anyway.
