 The class-walker-nav-menu-edit.php is lack for a simple action hook that
 let authors add their own fields to the admin menu.
 In the last week I found 4 different users complaining their
 plugins/themes are not compatible ( Ubermenu, Geotargeting Pro, Salient
 theme and another theme I can't remember) because every of them are
 replacing the whole walker.
 The whole menu ecosystem could simple work by adding a hook ( patch added
 ) and makes totally sense.

 We already have filters/actions  for settings wp_setup_nav_menu_item ,
 wp_update_nav_menu_item so I don't see a reason of why not having a hook
 to add the gui of this fields without modifying the whole walker.

 Related to https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/18584 but could solve
 lot of issues until that ticket from 5 years got solved and merged.
