I don't build Emacs, so can't see or tell just what you
changed. But FWIW I've used a variable-pitch face for
`mode-line' for some time now, with no problems.
I just use this face setting for it:
((t (:inherit variable-pitch :background "PaleGoldenrod"
:foreground "black"
:box (:line-width -1 :style released-button))))
What have you changed, other than the font and, I guess,
some alignments?
Why change the default? Isn't it easy enough for users
to customize to get the changes you're proposing?

That's it.

No, Emacs should have a good out-of-the-box experience.
