Just shooting from the hip, it's a lot of work, but even more importantly it's running slightly counter to the core motive behind many immediate mode GUI toolkits, which is to be as minimalist and easy to work with as possible.
For my part I have some accessibility needs that typically aren't well supported by immediate mode GUIs. And my personal take is, this is 100% fine. If you're working on a thing where an immediate mode GUI toolkit is even a realistic option, you're probably also in a situation where it's exceedingly unlikely that making your hobby project or prototype or whatever harder to work on will cause a net increase in humanity's overall sense of wellbeing.
And if something comes up and you do end up needing to make changes for someone else's benefit, hey, good news, immediate mode GUIs are really, really easy to hack on.
