This one is probably easier than you think. Just never user
MySQL-specific PHP or SQL functions and do never ever user " or ` as
quotes in your SQL, just quote using the quoting method offered by the
DB classes.

Then it'll be DBAL-enabled automagically.

You might want to think about creating an adaptor API that can tie in
different systems (like SQL-Ledger, Compiere, ...) as is mentioned
here:

This might affect other parts as well. such as:

which those systems might manage. Prepare for the fact that someone
might want to have products handled outside of TYPO3 completely, aside
from the actual shop. This will probably enable 'real' uses (as in
'huge shop').

If you really stick to MVC al principle, you should be able to put the
needed parts into something that can be switched, overloaded, ... to
give the needed flexibility.
