They are not truly invisible; hovering the cursor over the interactive part of
a scrollbar will indicate as such, including the interactive areas on either
side of the bar. In practice, you can visually tell when the bar is
interactive. And, again, the interactive part of the bar is quite large at 44px
wide.

With this set of settings, your scrollbars are actually thinner and harder to
click than the default Breeze ones which are 44px wide, and the visual contrast
is worse due due to cobblling together such a set of semi-incompatible
settings.
In conclusion, what you want scrollbars with large interaction areas) is
already the case with Breeze, and I recommend that you just use it rather than
cobbling together something that actually has worse usability.
I can understand the desire for customization in the name of accessibility, but
I'm afraid you've demonstrated that you've used the customizability we provide
to make something less functional, less usable, and less accessible than the
status quo is, which was designed from the start to accommodate people who
prefer wide scrollbars that have a large interaction area.
