that sounds like a sophisticated problem!
instead of MetronomeMark try
\override Score.RehearsalMark.break-align-symbols = #'(left-edge)
then, quoting the NR:
"Using the break-alignable-interface
Rehearsal marks and bar numbers may be aligned with notation objects other
than bar
lines. These objects include ambitus, breathing-sign, clef, custos,
staff-bar, left-edge,
key-cancellation, key-signature, and time-signature.
Each type of object has its own default reference point, to which rehearsal
marks are aligned"
you'll have to determine the reference point you like.
