That doesn’t sound like a bad idea. It would make discovering the existing PS/CSP/SAI compatible shortcut/canvas input schemes (and the fact that those are two separate things) easier. And it was previously suggested to make new/additional default workspace(s) (UI layouts).  
Other apps like Blender and Inkscape have setup dialogs similar to this, which also let you choose for instance the color theme.

Icons are a bit complicated, if I remember correctly, I’m not sure how possible it is to make them easy to change.  
The UI colors are changeable by switching theme in `Settings->Themes`,  
but there’s no UI to make your own theme. (There is a decent if imperfect plugin for that, though: [Plugin: Theme Creator Extension](https://krita-artists.org/t/plugin-theme-creator-extension/62953/) )  
Font and font size can be changed with `Configure Krita->General->Window->Use custom interface font`.
