Mappings will work to change the behavior of { and }, but by "other
operations regarding paragraph text object," I assumed the OP was
referring to commands using ap and ip. There is no way that I know
of to change the behavior of commands using those.

I think that's what's addressed by this todo item:

- Add regex for 'paragraphs' and 'sections': 'parare' and 'sectre'.
Combine the two into a regex for searching. (Ned Konz)
