A very easy start would be to provide a single button
that is shown only if it has an associated binding/action,
and whose action is user-defined, the value of a user
option.

No, that doesn't respond to all that you request (which
I support, BTW).  But it would seem like a zero-cost
no-brainer, to at least let user get a user-defined
toolbar button.  And the action option could be buffer
local.  You'd at least get a user-definable,
mode-specific button.
