I think a better approach would be to integrate the menubars into a HUD. Advantages:

compatible with sloppy focus.
more platform independent, won't break with a shell upgrade.
consistent: some apps don't even have menubars, others fail to export theirs.
doesn't affect shell performance, a big issue with Gnome's design.
allows for a more powerful UI than a tiny strip at the edge of the screen.
compatible with multiple monitors.
compatible with huge monitors.
doesn't require a top panel.

This is just a recommendation. I think a clickable HUD palette is a much promising area, especially after Gnome abandoned menubars.
