I don't think I understand how would this do the job. Surely, the
indentation space should be visible?

How is that different from using a column (as opposed to pixel) value
for :align-to?

The idea is to set it to the multiple of the character's width, which
will then scale with the font.

Yes, and we have with-current-buffer...
