Sorry, I have no opinion about xref-show-definitions-buffer-at-bottom,
I'm using xref-show-definitions-completing-read with icomplete.

Maybe the TAB keybinding should depend on the value of
xref-show-definitions-function.  When it is customized to
xref-show-definitions-completing-read then don't bind TAB.
