Haven't tried the plugin, but both of your points totally make sense, thanks.

This approach has two problems: (1) It allows the editor to have access to all theme (Appearance) options, not just widgets and menus. (2) This code only needs to be run once; it shouldn't be in the functions.php file where it will be run every time WordPress runs.
https://www.thewebtaylor.com/articles/wordpress-allow-editors-to-manage-menus offers the ability to allow access only to menus & widgets, but see the comments on that page as it too has some issues.
