Skipping navboxes is a decision that was taken by the WMF team responsible for the mobile site (whatever it was called at the time) and can be solved cleanly only at the skin level, but I don't expect this to happen as long as it will break the mobile site.
Your proposal would be the ideal argument for reversing the current "solution", yes, but realistically, it's not going to happen throughout the hundreds of wikis that implemented navboxes.
Here we're talking about Isarra's very interesting project to make the Monobook skin responsive, not whatever decisions WMF's mobile teams may have made in the past for their mobile-only skin. She is not obligated to follow their lead just because they led, and I'd recommend she doesn't in this case.
Note that's my personal recommendation and not any sort of official WMF position. I likely won't even be involved in the code review for her patch.
