I guess, for me, replacing fn and # with nice symbols is similar to using colours and rainbow parens. The same can be said of parens and text - "there's nothing wrong with how they are". However, they can be improved with extra visual information in the form of colours.

I do find # to be particularly ugly - and also find that using different symbols for sets and anonymous functions helps improve readability in addition to an aesthetic improvement.

fn on the other hand irked me. Really it means lambda, so the lambda symbol seems far more fitting :-)

Still, all this stuff is purely personal - it's just very cool that emacs lets you customise so much.
