Agreed 100%. In general, I put most of my repeatable keys on a prefix key. I don't argue that a key sequence to grab stuff from the buffer and insert it into the minibuffer needs to be a single key. I do think that a repeatable key sequence, especially one that is a single key (such as `M-.') should generally not be wasted on a non-repeatable command (such as, presumably, `xref-find-definitions'). Such a general rule (in my mind) can have exceptions, of course, and there's no urgency to try to rebind all such non-repeatable commands, to liberate their keys for repeatable commands.
