 Thanks for testing it out, and for the insightful comment on the cite
 block supports!

 If the typography settings cascade to the cite, there may be difficulty in
 maintaining the visual hierarchy of the cite in relation to the paragraph.
 Say you indeed chose a very large text size, and that resulted in both the
 cite and the paragraph assuming same size. This could be resolved by
 applying a multiplier for the cite size, but that might be unexpected to
 those users of the theme who may have customized this block for their
 sites, and might be less intuitive to overwrite per site.

 I would therefore be inclined to leave the cite styling as it is. The cite
 in my personal opinion is mainly a helper label for the quote, while
 paragraph carries the main visual interest of the component. Unless the
 block is later parted so that both parts have their own supports, with
 maybe inheritance from main block, I would go with having the styles
 cascade to paragraph, whilst leaving the less visual cite component to
 work with the solid defaults it has.

 And as for partially implementing typography supports, I feel that might
 indeed be more confusing than having them not apply to the cite at all.
 Ideally I think these two should have their own block supports in their
 future, so you could overwrite unwanted inheritance and achieve the look
 you really want to.
