For the existing interfaces, we are not going to change things in
incompatible ways. The idea is to keep the existing menus working as
similarly as possible compared to the current ad-hoc menus.
So, no, we are not going to replace things with completing-read.
Not by default.

But what I hope to see is a way for users to customize the UI to their
preference. Without touching the defaults.

Yes. That's where we will have to use transient.
This discussion mostly concerns simpler cases when user needs to choose
from a list.
