I appreciate the changes broke consistency for @var between @deffn and
@deftypefn.

What I've done is use the ttsl font for @var in @def lines if txicodevaristt
is @set (currently the default, in the future to be turned off).

This means if documents use the two types of @def* command together with
@var, the font style for @var with be the same for both.
