This is impressive!
That being said, if my 20+ years with Lilypond has taught me anything, it’s
that this kind of solution likely isn’t necessary. I am 99% certain there’s a
very simple incantation (maybe involving rods-and-springs or some other spacing
parameter?) that will solve the problem with far less code. Consider how
dynamics already Do The Right Thing™ w.r.t. vertical “slipping”:

I’m hoping to hear from Jean or David or someone with a deeper understanding of
Lilypond than I have.
Best,
Kieren.
