I don't see how you *could* unify the 2D key and the 3D key.
They are intrinsically different.  The 2D case has a fixed
plot border (not the canvas border, the plot border) within
which we normally position the key.  3D plots *have* no
such border except in the special case of `set view map`.

So even if you unified many of the 2D and 3D routines,
I think you would still need two parallel bits of code for
key placement.
