Do you have a proposal for a UI? Perhaps adding "paste style" to the right-click menu in the layer dialog?
This certainly won't suffice.
Right now blending options for layers are basically an SVG filter applied to a group. If you apply a "layer style", then change your mind about the current blending mode and change it, you replace the applied style with a new one that only has feBlend.
How about a palette of saved styles? Drag an object to the palette, style is added to the palette. Select an object, click the style in palette, style is applied to the object. Interim solution to OP's problem would then be select all, click style for that layer. As for pairing a style and layer, I have no idea how to work that out UI-wise.
Just a thought... and it turns out to be not original ;) https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/170040
