> Is committing the following change the right thing to do?

On that philosophical question, I think the answer would be:
not quite.

Instead, The Right Thing to do, might be to change elisp-mode's
font-lock rules so they check obarray for macros (i.e. use mapatoms +
regexp-opt to generate a macro matching all macros, and probably update
it from after-load-functions)?
That should kill several birds with a single (big) stone.
