That makes sense to me.
Not for piano music (I'm just typesetting such a piece, thus my
reports). It's *extremely* distracting if there is a gap between the
accidental and its note if not part of a chord. Attached are two
examples from Debussy's first volume of preludes (Edition peters):
they clearly show that two largely separated voices do *not* have
aligned accidentals.
However, piano voices are often intertwined, so it would be really
good if Lilypond could group accidental clusters by itself.

I mean: There is an unwanted, ugly gap between the note head and the
accidental.
