Interesting to think how this fits in with the existing views of an article. Currently there exist the headline + image on the landing page, which leads to the long-form article. An abstract feels like it would be in between these views—though that's not necessarily how it should be navigated.
I could see them as full page views containing a custom mashup of a traditional abstract, most insightful figure/interaction and big picture/insight. They would need to be authored separately.
Contrast or compare this with strong hero elements which @shancarter says start to feel more like an independent entity already:
The more the hero or title page is interesting content and self contained, the more it because [becomes?] a full-fledged atomic unit of the web
Would an abstract serve a different purpose? Maybe more to depict the insight of the article, whereas a hero element might be more concerned with introducing the topic or problem the article studies?

BTW, Nature has the abstract serve the double purpose of being the first paragraph of their letters. It's an interesting form. Here's a pretty interesting example, in machine learning: http://www.davidqiu.com:8888/research/nature14236.pdf

It's interesting to think about the emotional experience a reader has. SIGGRAPH abstracts sometimes make an impact that you remember years later. The pix2pix demo had the same flavour: https://affinelayer.com/pixsrv/ A good traditional abstract conveys the core point of the paper. Perhaps a good Distill abstract conveys in a more vivid, embodied (?) form the core point of the paper.
It's interesting to think about what would make the pix2pix demo better, if it were considered as a Distill abstract. I think it'd (a) more vividly convey the many tasks (e.g., map-to-photo, night-to-day etc) pix2pix can do; and (b) it might well be shorter.
