Is lemon and vanilla a good combination? I can't recall

It's not bad.

Yes.

No. Lemon works great for fats, Vanilla works great for fats, but they shouldn't be combined unless it's a rare exception like perhaps cheesecake.

It's one of my favorite. I make too many vanilla and lemon Madeleine for this reason.

I'd use less juice and more zesy

Depends on the dish, amount of each you use. I imagine the lemon would be quite overpowering in most cases. For a cake maybe put vanilla in the cake and then make some icing with the lemon juice and grate the zest over the top?

Lemon's a great flavour on its own, vanilla and lemon brings to mind curdled milkshakes.

Just make a lemon drizzle cake.

Any citrus with vanilla is good.

Maybe except for grapefruit.
