"All" meaning the two involved in the underline position, right? Yes,
that would be a good addition, I think.

Not really, no. If the variable is buffer-local, it will incur a
small penalty, but we already have a couple of such variables
elsewhere in the display, so I doubt one more will make any tangible
difference. And for the usual case of a global symbol, there's no
penalty beyond a function call.

So it's spacemacs' fault, perhaps exasperated by choosing some font
and/or colors that make this issue more prominent. Right? Then how
about asking the spacemacs developers to improve the situation on
their end?

Good, that's what I thought.

I meant to suggest what you did: customize x-underline-at-descent-line
such that it avoids the effect of line-spacing you didn't like. I
assumed that such a setting will solve your problems everywhere.
Nonetheless, making it possible to customize those locally for one
buffer would be a good improvement, IMO.
Thanks.
