I don't know, does it come with its own faces? You can disable
them one by one but if it doesn't - implement faces
that inherit? Much work for little gain, perhaps?

But OTOH what is a mode without faces? On the third hand if
this is a minor mode then perhaps it shouldn't.

Is there a policy what should have its own faces and not?
