I think it's only an acceptable default if there is an indication of the
zoom state; so the zoom_widget should then also be enabled.

If it is to be enabled by default I suggest that it be blank when the
zoom is 1:1.

Although that raises the question as to whether a blank widget should
occupy any space; there's currently some padding and/or margin.  For
instance, this is true of the loading_count_widget.

Another peripheral point I noticed when trying out the zoom_widget is
that the minimum content buffer width is constrained by the mode-line.
I suggest putting "overflow: hidden" on the mode-line.
