the keyboard. alt-T similarly conflicts with using the Tools menu in
Firefox from the keyboard.

Personally I use the windows key as my modifier, which I think makes the
most sense. However there are keyboards out there that don't have a windows
key so I don't know if it would be a good idea to use that as the default.

Not so, at least on my IBM keyboards and Thinkpad laptop keyboards.

I also bind dwm keys and others to MOD4 and then use xmodmap to swap it
with the Alt key. I rarely use the Alt key and find using the key on
either side of the space bar easily accessible with my thumbs.

I work on a wide variety of platforms and keyboards and I find the windows
key prevalent enough to have it as my MODKEY. I even have the menu key
wired to dmenu in xbindkeys for conveniance.
However I do have dmenu and a few other commands I find indesposable setup
to use Shift|Mod1 when I am on o

Like readline(3)?
For that reason alone, it's pretty hopeless to use alt as the wm

Right, I'll try that later today. If not I'll start running it through
