There are various components that in Flow that should be polished up and pushed into MediaWiki UI. We should polish these up as much as possible, thinking about how they render in mobile, whether they are important and get them upstreamed to core. Flow also ships its own version of MediaWiki UI buttons (flow-ui-button). We will have to standardise and improve MediaWiki UI where necessary before even thinking of shipping these styles to mobile. MediaWiki UI is already loaded on mobile so this would be an easy win.
I see Shahyar already has a patch to mediawiki.ui which is a step in this direction. It's at https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/123804/
As I commented on that patch, we need to see some example implementations to understand how these new button styles are intended to work (in general, not just in Flow). I think this is a task for the UX team to tackle, and probably involves updating the mediawiki.ui style guide for desktop and mobile.
