Logging in the Package

Now that the OTEL is becoming a standard, perhaps we should add distributed tracing instrumentation using Activity. That makes more sense than logging. Also, we may publish metrics, that might be useful for perf analysis. We need to analyze and invest in this.

Not really. The EF will emit logs anyway. Since we're using consumers' DbContext, the logging is included based on their respective configuration.
Other than that, I can't think of anything worthwhile.

I sometimes create logging decorators for repos that include timers so I can determine which queries are slow - might that be useful? EF logging doesn't provide this in a nice manner.

What would the logging content look like in that case? Also, will you depend on DateTime?
