Sure, eventually.  Let me know if you have tested the patch and it works
for you.

I don’t know much about faces, but it should work across all relevant
versions of Emacs.

Aside: Speaking of prettifying src blocks, with prettify-symbols-mode I
managed to make src-blocks look like this when the cursor is somewhere else

    λ LANGUAGE ☰

and like this otherwise

     #+begin_src LANGUAGE :keyword₁ value₁ ⋯ :keywordₙ valueₙ
