Indeed... I looked around but could not find an approach that would scale
well along the the base system font size changes... (there are some
bootstrap based examples that might work, but we don't use bootstrap in
GeoServer so...).
Can you think of any other case in the UI that would benefit from having
the select2 list?

Yeah, I was wondering myself. Personally I'd prefer visual consistency but
I have no strong opinion on this one, happy to leave it as is.

That is indeed annoying (although not sure how keyboard friendly the UI is
to start with).
Hmmm... seems like it may be fixable, I'll have a look into it:
https://github.com/select2/select2/issues/3472
Looking at the code, it seems pretty straightforward and easy to use.
