Now that I have taken a closer look at things, it is indeed the case that although post-command-hook will take care of non-derived major modes that do not follow conventions (and are not run from timers or processes) and after-change-major-mode-hook will take care of all modes that follow the conventions, none of the two will take care of derived modes that do not follow the conventions. (Where a derived mode is defined as a major mode that runs another major mode inside its body).
I do not know whether there are a lot of derived modes that do not follow the convention. The most satisfactory solution would obviously be to make them all follow the conventions. If this would be unrealistic, possibilities include to come up with a better fallback alternative or to simply revert my change. If we do the latter, I could fix the original Buffer Menu problem (and potential future similar problems with reverting non-file buffers) by making `auto-revert-buffers' run `global-font-lock-mode-buffers'. This does not seem very attractive, because the underlying problem with timers or processes running modes would remain. I also do not immediately understand why find-file-hook could not potentially run too early too.
