We haven't really used the fixed-pitch face for much before, but we're
now using it for the face used when displaying key bindings, so it's
shown all over the place in Emacs 29.

In the fixed-pitch defface?  It's already got mono spacing, so I'm not
sure what that would achieve?  If this is what you meant, it has no
effect:

(defface fixed-pitch
  '((t :family "Monospace" :spacing mono))
  "The basic fixed-pitch face."
  :group 'basic-faces)
