I like those designs :) May we could have clickable arrows to scroll the region left and right in the case the screen resolution was too low to show them all?

Pointer displacement: First I click on the network indicator in #1, then I end up in #2. In this case, while I have clicked on the network indicator, what is now under my pointer is the battery indicator. Horizontal scrolling: As you can see in #3, to see all the indicators I must scroll horizontally by revving the trackpad left to right. This is a rather uncomfortable and unfamiliar gesture. Hidden indicators: Finding, e.g. the bluetooth indicator, is rather fiddly when hidden behind the horizontal scrolling region. Menu size: As you can see in #4, the indicator menu entries take up large amounts of screen space due to having large fonts, and lots of padding. The black menu background also extends right to the bottom of the screen, which is likely to look a bit ridiculous on e.g. a 27" 4K monitor. Opinion: I would definitely be in favor of the indicator menus only taking as much vertical screen space as they require - like traditional drop-down menus. Or, indeed, Gnome 3's indicators.
