Hi Nathan, I think it is a great idea, and I would prefer your second proposal : "add a new UI in the labeling tab that fills with the symbols defined from style tab that lets you define labels for each symbol."
I agree with you with keeping a simple "default label". It will allow quick labelling configuration, and won't prevent "power users" from using a more complex labelling system per symbol if needed.
