Yes, I'm using these already, in practice though - even with these
variables set - I can have 3 applications open and they have different
cursor themes and/or sizes.
(firefox, foot, blender & it's libdecor decorations for e.g.).

Perhaps there needs to be more strict guidance on the correct cursor
size with output scale for e.g. so applications aren't using different
methods to calculate this.

In my case "pencil", "color-picker", "sb_up_arrow" & "sb_down_arrow".
