This would be my main objection as well.

Then again, perhaps you would, and the whole point of this patch is to
make the UI configurable.  If so, I'd make the original UI the default,
or at least very very easy to bring back.

Making it configurable on a high level is something I might agree with (and indeed, the find-definitions command probably should behave differently from the rest), but the way it's done should be transparent and not strongly coupled to a particular commands.

Maybe via two different xrefs-show-function values. I'm not sure.
