The "https" in any non-weak-crypto and non-mixed-content-loaded connection should be painted green.

The color should be #479900, or rather var(--identity-box-verified-color). Using the variable value might be hard, as we'll have to hard-code that in C++.
Most of the stuff seems to be already done by the patches in bug 747085.

Is this a WONTFIX based upon the feedback in: bug 747085?
This is still the desired UX - can this be prioritized again?
It would be nice if we could replace the padlock with this change. It would be a bold change but not reduce functionality.

Not sure that we have enough feedback that user's find the padlock confusing. Many may rely on it for at a glance understanding if a site is safe/secure. Its also a standard used by other browser most notably chrome...

The painting of the https helps further reinforce why the lock is there.
