font-size:1rem seems like a no-op here.

This doesn't make sense to me. rem is supposed to refer to the font size of the root element; if other code sets the font size for anything in the parent chain of the label (including the label itself), this isn't a no-op.

First of all, there's no code actually doing this. Secondly, if one did set the font size on one of the toolbar buttons' containers, you would actually expect this to affect the buttons, just like with toolbar buttons and other widgets elsewhere in the UI.

I disagree, but I don't actually care right now. If you think this is better and tested this with a reasonable variety of stuff, land away.

The behavior of toolbar buttons and other widgets in other context is a fact. It's just not common that we set font-size:1rem for such things. There's also no reason why toolbar buttons in this panel should be different. So it's not clear to me what exactly you disagree with.

The problem is, lots of add-ons currently make assumptions about where their buttons/items are shown and what the appropriate styling is meant to be. The results are often ugly. Ergo, not styling because the default styling is OK for us, and explicitly specifying that styling, are not equivalent, and other styles about such items (e.g. toolbar buttons) aren't necessarily 'more right' than the style we picked for these items. Several of these selectors are so low-specificity that they would be unlikely to override add-on styling, however, so I don't know how likely it is that this will be helpful in practice.

I just remembered: did you check what happens to the bookmarks toolbar button, both in and out of customize mode? IIRC it has its own font styles set (bookmarks themselves certainly do). Maybe it's fine, but it'd be good to check before landing this.
