elisp isn't really good at text munging (that sounds counterintuitive at first, given it is the extension language of an editor) and works much better if your data is structured as s-expressions. AFAIK there used to be project to build a modern parser for org-mode files, but I couldn't tell you how much this has progressed or how usable it is. So, if your export process contains heavy text-munging I'd avoid it. Modifying the HTML output (adding classes etc.) was fairly OK, I haven't tried anything crazy though.
