What would be useful would be if Emacs/Org could be configured to wrap
prose lines but not, e.g. tables and code blocks.  I don't think such
functionality exists in Emacs now, but here's a new package that may be
relevant: https://github.com/luisgerhorst/virtual-auto-fill

That would be useful. mixed-pitch-mode already distinguishes codelike
from proselike. Which might help apply virtual-auto-fill only to
prose-like.

Seems this should be an Org feature, since it wants to combine prose,
tables and code.

As well, it might be good to discuss on emacs-devel whether a feature
could be developed to truncate/wrap lines selectively; maybe
font-locking could be used to apply text properties to disable wrapping
dynamically (assuming that a feature could be developed to wrap based on
a certain text property).  Then we could have the best of both worlds,
and solve an existing problem, viz. that tables and code gets wrapped
when visual-line-mode is enabled.

text-mode doesn't recognize org-mode tables or code blocks. Why would
it need selective truncation?
