I think the (admittedly pretty cool) minibuffer-visible-completions
feature is orthogonal: the scenarios I'm considering and trying to fix
here also involve selecting a completion from *Completions* in some way
(e.g. using M-up or M-down followed by M-RET, in default configuration).
And this is currently working worse for in-buffer completion than for
minibuffer completion WRT keeping the suffix around.

Suppose they do. But the list of completions they're shown is for an
outdated input. Does it really make more sense to erase the current
input than to insert the completion where it was supposed to go?
The problem here, from my POV, is that we currently have a solution
which matches the above goal, but which only makes sense for minibuffer
(I think you wouldn't store the before/after buffer contents in separate
string variables the same way). Whereas the API used is the same, so it
would really make sense to minimize the differences in behavior between
minibuffer and in-buffer completion.
