Could do with a few changes, but it's not a bad start for a basic default. Part of the problem is that although the looks are simple (and can be easily changed) it's still all Prosilver behind the eye candy. But if you are talking about the basic look and layout then sure, something like that should be fine.
Re changes: get rid of the daft responsive-hide and responsive-show shiznit. There are easier ways of handling that without extra markup. And seriously, who wants board or topic stats on mobile anyway? It's just crud that gets in the way of more useful things. I'd rather have the last post staying on mobile instead of topic counts or whatever. At least I can use it.
Another point: I really do have to wonder about the usefulness of the little pages links for each topic on the topic index. I have never used them in my life, as far as I can recall. I usually only want the first post, or the first unread, or the last post. I rarely want to wrack my brains trying to remember which page of a 39 page thread had some post that I may want occasionally, and if I ever do the pages index inside the topic view itself is a much more convenient way of finding it, because you can use the dropdown to enter any page number instead of just the visible ones.
Really, getting rid of the little pages links for each topic on the topic index (and the associated non-functional icon) would save rendering a lot of crud, would clean up the presentation, and would make responsive much less hassle. People often get excited about what they can add. Let's also think about stuff we can ditch for extra sanity.
