FWIW, I agree.  That's a big part of the motivation behind my proposal
to add

   *** Several text-property planes

in etc/TODO.  But currently the only "solution" to the above problem is
`font-lock-face` (tho it only solves the problem if it's OK for your face
to be disabled when font-lock-mode is disabled).
