Comment (by celloexpressions):

 I believe this might actually be very straightforward. Once #25618
 happens, we'd just need to adjust the WP_Upload_Image control to open the
 media modal (which has upload functionality) instead of opening the
 browser's upload functionality directly, just like we do in several places
 in core and as plugins do all over the place.

 In fact, the best solution is probably to make
 `WP_Customize_Upload_Control` open the media modal (as it provides the
 best experience for uploading and browsing files of any type; I'd say
 leave the dropzone too for quick access), then we can just make the
 necessary adjustments to `WP_Customize_Image_Control` and
 `WP_Customize_Background_Image_Control`. That way all instances and
 extensions of upload-type controls get the best experience we have.
