I think gtkcss only works on GTK3 and Linux Mint Debian Edition is still

Should I write a little patch to make it use Monospace in the code and
submit it?  (Is there interest to anyone else in such a patch?) Or is
there another way short of editing the code that I'm missing?

You can use gtkrc files for gtk2, I think Geany even comes with it's own for some custom themed stuff. http://www.gtk.org/api/2.6/gtk/gtk-Resource-Files.html. I don't know much about it but it seems totally reasonable that you could match the Scribble textview either by gtkbuilder/glade name or class/hierarchy and change its font.

If it's not possible, probably the best approach would be to extend what's documented here: http://www.geany.org/manual/current/index.html#defining-own-widget-styles-using-gtkrc-2-0 for the relevant Scribble widget, so you can match it by GtkWidget name in the gtkrc file (see main.c:L282).
