In my opinion, the principle of being surrounded only by stone is a very good idea because you can decide from the ground up which system you will use to build, structure and design bases and structures.
Problems with decorations and structures:
When I looked at the world with noclip, I noticed that decorations like grass and dead bushes were not replaced with stone. Larger decorations (structures) such as ruined portals were also noticeably inappropriate and unesthetic in the stone
Improvement ideas
You could potentially replace not only air and water with stone, but also grass; dirt; dirt with grass, dead bushes; Etc..
Another idea of mine would be to completely overwrite the world generation again. For this I highly recommend the library mod luamap.
When replacing things with stone it should IMO still be possible to get every block in the game. I don't think you can create e.g. dirt_with_grass from other things.
I also think that you should still be able to get all nodes in the game with this mod, but nodes like dirt with grass are replaced by an abm with dirt. Maybe that's why there should be dirt with grass in the bonus chest?
to be fair everything is kinda unesthetic with noclip ;) i think the experience after mining for hours finding an airpocket with a structure might be nice though
Good Concept

Do what you think is right.

well i think the abm won't convert dirt_with_grass that has a flower or tall grass on top ... you'll still need silk touch to dig it though
yeah that was basically my lazy rationalization for just keeping everything and coverint it with stone ^^
