Yes this will break things. This is why they are defined the way they are -- when you use Theme you are promised to be sitting on top of some dark background, and Theme.Light to be on top of some light background. You just can't change this basic assumption without breaking applications.
If you want to change the look of the standard apps to this extent, you will need to go and modify them. Note this could very well require doing more than changing the theme they use, because there are likely some custom graphics and colors that will no longer work in the new environment. And trying to make third party apps consistent? That's a losing battle, don't even try. Third party apps get to do what they want.
