This seems like a good idea. Whether a command is run with M-x, a menu
item, or a button, the semantics should be identical.
The only "M-x history" in Emacs is the history list used for reading
the argument of M-x. That should only be used for arguments that you
enter in the M-x command.
Keyboard keys also run commands that you could run with M-x, but
putting their names in the M-x history list would not be consistent or
useful. It is the same for menu-run commands.
There is also command-history, which gets all commands
that read an argument from the terminal, whether or not they
were run from a menu.
