Maybeit is reasonable?

based on index_build's ereport(DEBUG1...) output information
you patch disabled parallel index build for parallel safe function.
after apply your patch:
set log_min_messages to debug1;
begin;
drop table if exists btree_para_bld;
CREATE TABLE btree_para_bld(i int);
ALTER TABLE btree_para_bld SET (parallel_workers = 4);
SET local max_parallel_maintenance_workers TO 4;
CREATE or replace FUNCTION para_unsafe_f1() RETURNS int IMMUTABLE
PARALLEL UNSAFE
AS $$
BEGIN
RETURN 0;
END$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;
CREATE or replace FUNCTION para_safe() RETURNS int IMMUTABLE PARALLEL UNSAFE
AS $$
BEGIN
RETURN 0;
END$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;
CREATE INDEX ON btree_para_bld((para_unsafe_f1()));
CREATE INDEX ON btree_para_bld((para_safe()));
commit;

the problem entry point is_parallel_safe, i think.
