I'm concerned with backwards compatibility, the original 'schoolserver'(XS)
based on CentOS-6 doesn't offer the xs-authserver service, hence why I
mentioned it. I would not want to break a deployment where the older server
version is used.

The ownCloud service is not enabled out of the box, same as the
'xo-services'. You can enable it and play around, figure out how and where
the users' data is stored. Either idmgr or ownCloud could be altered to
suit the need. Here it would be safe to rely on xs-authserver's information
as there is no existing implementation of owncloud in previous releases of
the server software. I can help push the server-side PR's through.
