My base checkbox goes bold in .getfocus - and also has two captions (caption_yes, caption_no). When I introduced the change, there was almost nothing to do wherever the checkbox was used, except where I wanted a meaningful difference between the captions. This sort of cosmetic intervention is not much of a threat to the stability of the system.

So I agree, it may be simpler to just change the base class than to intervene on (dozens of?) forms.
