 > My idea is to store widgets settings into theme_mod_[theme_name] option,
 see my ticket: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/40067

 Beyond what I commented on that ticket, I don't see how this will help the
 situation. It seems like your proposing creating theme-specific sets of
 widgets, where each theme has its own parallel universe of widgets. The
 problem were are trying to solve here is how to teleport widgets between
 the theme multiverse, not introduce the need to maintain a multiverse of
 widget doppelgangers. 😉
