Is there any reason why you dislike transient (now part of Emacs core)?
It is not about me disliking transient, I am sure it is a great library. It is
more about simplicity and efficiency. Entire org-capture is ~2/3 of the size of
transient alone, and as an org user I have org-mode loaded almost always, while
I don't have transient loaded, since I am using magit very, very rarely, which I
believe is the only consumer of transient in my Emacs. So it is more about
lightness and efficiency.

If you are seeking simplicity, I suppose, `completing-read' should be
more than enough. TAB shows list of options and it is quite similar to menu.
I have seen `org-mks' function but I am unsure if it will suite for you
to define capture-like interface.
I do not think, you patch should be applied. Org-capture is a particular
case of menu-like interface, but its purpose is capture and that should
not be abused.
I can not say that I really like org-capture UI. It blocks other windows
and frame. I believe, menu windows should just define own keymap without
affecting of minibuffer.
