Also it seems like on mobile we have a media query that adds left margin to the OK button, that seems off:

Adjusted. The existing mobile rule for .save-post-status.button was adding an asymmetric offset that made sense for the previous inline layout, but looked off once the select became full-width. Status now shares the same mobile spacing as Visibility/Timestamp for the OK action, while clearing the old left offset.

display: block;
margin-bottom: 8px;
width: 100%;

I agree with this change since that way the buttons don't really shift depending on the width of the selected value. This is even more relevant on languages where those strings are longer.

But it seems like max-width is not necessary?

Suggested change
#post-status-select select {
max-width: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
#post-status-select select {
width: 100%;
}

Good point. I removed max-width. I kept display: block and margin-bottom so the OK/Cancel controls sit below the full-width select without requiring a markup wrapper.

Now that the dropdown is full-width, the "Cancel" button doesn't seem vertically aligned with the "OK" button:

Adjusted. The Status OK/Cancel controls now get a scoped vertical-align: middle rule so the two actions align without changing the existing markup.

#post-status-select .cancel-post-status {
vertical-align: middle;
}
