It's sounding like the newer and more complicated hashes have a lot of configurable features that may need site-local tuning. Should these be part of e.g. slapd.conf config or be settings embedded in the value format for later clarity, like

{HASHNAME:attr=val,attr=val,attr=val}SnVzdCBhbiBleGFtcGxlLCBzaWxseQ==

Somewhat both.

Like in the past the password-hash should allow to set the current local security policy for setting new passwords but old password values should still be valid for authentication.
