I think your approach is basically OK.  (I vaguely remember
font-latex.el uses similar methods for building regexp.)

Let me make some comments on this code.

(1) I'm wondering whether this "\B" is really necessary.  With this
"\B", "\[" followed by alphanumeric letters without separating spaces is
not considered as a start of a paragraph.  Forgive me if I'm saying
something stupid, but this fills
----------------------------------------------------------------------
abc def ghi jkl
\[xyz=123\]
ABC DEF GHI JKL
----------------------------------------------------------------------
to
----------------------------------------------------------------------
abc def ghi jkl \[xyz=123\] ABC DEF GHI JKL
----------------------------------------------------------------------
when typing M-q with the point on the equation, while the original code
fills to
----------------------------------------------------------------------
abc def ghi jkl
\[xyz=123\] ABC DEF GHI JKL
----------------------------------------------------------------------
.  If the line "\\B" is omitted from the code above, the results are the
same.  Am I missing something?

(2) Considering the compatibility with older emacsen, the usage of
`regexp-opt' seems to require some more tweaks.  Without optional second
argument, `regexp-opt' of xemacs 21.4 does not enclose the result with
"\(" and "\)".

So I propose to change the `concat' part like this:
    (concat (regexp-quote TeX-esc) "\\(?:"
            (regexp-opt cmds "\\(?:")
            "\\b"
            "\\|"
            (regexp-opt symbs "\\(?:")
            "\\)")
