Comment:

 Thanks @passionate. So the only thing to improve is the vertical spacing
 between form fields on mobile. I think this is a general issue in
 WordPress though and not limited to the Writing settings page.

 It would be nice to address this issue throughout the admin UI: when input
 fields are stacked vertically they should have some vertical spacing. This
 would require more standardization and removal of various "exceptions"
 that were introduced over time to improve the ''desktop'' layout, at the
 cost of a non-optimal ''mobile'' layout

 For history, see a comparison of this specific case in the screenshot
 attached below. On the left: WordPress 5.2. On the right: WordPress 5.3.
