Avoiding unnecessary ad-hoc differences is not just about any personal
preference.

Two buffers that look exactly the same shouldn't behave differently. I
think it's just basic usability.
What we could do instead, is change the default value of
xref-show-xrefs-function to use some new function that would use a new
major mode with the (slightly) new bindings which you have discussed
with Juri.
And *also* change the default value of xref-show-definitions-function to
one of the alternative functions, which already behave in some notably
different way than xref--show-xref-buffer.
I'm not sure what we would buy with such a combination, however, given
that it will create an bigger difference in behavior than simply
changing a key binding (*). But the latter change in the default seems
to be a Good Thing either way. Maybe we should put it to a vote.
(*) I guess you might like that the user could customize
xref-show-definitions-function back to a value where TAB behaves like it
did in Emacs 27? Although they could change the key binding back just as
well with a couple of line of Emacs Lisp, one can't do that via Customize.
