This will use completion only for the first mode, right? Perhaps
completing-read-multiple would make more sense here.

What's this `message' call for?

Maybe it's simpler to construct the filter directly? As in:

  (push `(or ,@(mapcar (lambda (m) `(used-mode . ,m)) modes))
        ibuffer-filtering-qualifiers)
  (ibuffer-update nil t)
