What am I forgeting?

EssexMame-
No, that's exactly how I do mine, and it's great. It keeps down the amount of buttons people need to push, and since none of my guests need to get into MAME's back end, it means I don't have to worry about people messing up the settings.
EssexMame:
Yeah, I figured I didn't want people accidentally or otherwise going into the Mame/Mala/emulator menus (or indeed myself whilst playing games!)
It'll take some explaining for people to know the Quit key combo (and pause?) but they have an IQ of 50+ so they should be okay after a week or two :-)

A well-designed instruction card on the bezel is always a good idea when using shifted functions -- leave off any functions you don't want guests to use.

I don't tell any guests that aren't regulars about the shifted functions. The Beast is set up for token play, but also has a shifted function for adding credits. Only those in the inner circle know how to do this...

The reason for 7 buttons is usually just a hybrid NEO-GEO/Capcom layout. That way people can either use 4 buttons in a row ala NEO-GEO, or 6 buttons in two rows of three ala Capcom.
