Would appreciate a few examples for working with overpass turbo in this section.

I have an example here. https://observablehq.com/@neocartocnrs/bars-pubs-in-paris

Can you clarify what you mean in terms of OSM features import? I ask b/c, in my understanding, the only ways to import OSM data are to download it from GeoFabrik or similar, or to pull it down from OverpassAPI.  I've seen your Bars&Pubs notebook a few times (sorry, I realized I hadn't liked before now), and the main challenges I've had in applying in are that 1) it relies on having bbox definitions, and 2) that it hard-codes in the overpass API queries.  Overpass API is really hard to understand and generalize as a novice.  I read this notebook as being a quick-and-dirty tutorial for getting common spatial data types into Observable.  Maybe my general reaction is that -- bringing OSM into this equation may not entirely fit this scope? (I comment with full love for this notebook and great admiration for the many works you've shared!!!)

Great Work!!! Can't wait for your R (sf) implementation!
