I'm chiming in as a user, here. As long as there are buttons for turning off
things like vinyl control and effects, adding one or two more buttons in the
same area doesn't bother me. If space becomes an issue, then those buttons that
are least likely to change mid-performance should be the first to go. For
instance, I'm not likely to change between showing and hiding the crossfader
and EQs during a performance. I'm either letting Mixxx do the work, or it's
hardware on the controller, but that choice is not going to change on the fly.
A single skin should support both use cases, but a button to toggle between
them is not critical. As long as there's space, though, I'd prefer to see all
"toggle" type decisions represented the same way (i.e. on-surface buttons or
menus, but not both.
Perhaps another choice might be a single "visibility" button on the UI (Maybe
an eyeball icon?) that drops down a checklist (or multiple, one for each deck)
allowing the user to enable and disable items, and then collapse back out of
the way.
I personally have no use for four decks (Punk/Goth/Industrial/EBM). The most
useful thing about LateNight to me has been the stacked waveforms. I much
prefer that to the separated ones in Deere. Assuming your beatgrids are
correct, it's a huge help.

Is the clutter of buttons in the upper part of the skin the only drawback for
you? As I said, why not move these controls to the menu or the preferences
dialog? Does someone really use them actively during a mix?

Removing the crossfader is irrelevant for helping screen height if you
have four decks. You also have to start removing elements from the rate
slider area, that's where most of the height is.
