I think the issue is specifically copying mode along with the frequency. To me, if KRX3 is not installed, copy everything since the receive parameters are not important on VFO B (no receive). I would find it distracting to have antenna/filter/etc. change as I pressed the A/B or REV buttons. If a KRX3 is installed but dual receive, or split operation is not selected copy everything (one can assume the tap means "configure everything") ... if dual receive or split is selected, copy only frequency/mode on the first tap and copy filter/preamp/attenuator/receive antenna/etc. on the second tap. In general, I think mode should be copied along with frequency. With the "CW in SSB" capability, I can't see a situation where the user would not want VFO B in the same mode as VFO A 73, ...
