 Very interesting. I wonder what if any potential downsides there might be
 in placing such a general hook this high up in the stack.

 I'd almost be tempted use a dynamic hook with a whitelist based on the
 `nav_menus` and `widgets` properties to sort of lock it down to this
 specific context.

 The whitelist could be expanded in the future without opening the door
 wide to the scenario that any general-purpose hook brings: having to
 support any number of unexpected use-cases down the road.
