I'd collapse those "mode title keymap place highlight-list minor-modes"
into a singe `setup-function` argument.
And FWIW, `read-from-buffer` sounds like a good name for a "low-level"
function that parallels `read-from-minibuffer` but using a normal window
rather than a miniwindow, whereas `read-string-from-buffer` sounds like
a replacement for `read-string` (and hence wouldn't take/need
a `setup-function` argument).
