Things I don't do right away tend not to be done at all, or many years
later.

My advice would be to delay any improvement (except for fixing
regressions) until you are at the *start* of a development phase. The
code *is* complex, and there is some non-trivial dependencies, so any
changes should be done at a phase where there is plenty of time left
to find any bugs they might uncover.
I.e. now is entirely the wrong time to start improving the customize
UI.
