Comment (by celloexpressions):

 This remains blocked for the admin page due to fundamental scaling
 problems there (#14134). It would need a complete refactoring to be able
 to support this. Therefore, I'd suggest focusing on the Customizer
 implementation.

 At this point, we need help from anyone who is interested in using these
 hooks to move forward with adding support for custom fields in nav menu
 item controls. I would second the assumption that postmeta should be used
 and that custom fields for nav menu items is the use-case supporting hooks
 in nav menu item controls, but if there are other opinions, I'd be
 interested in seeing those.
