I'll do some more tests and see if it fits all my needs.

I use \repeat quite often. So far I've used \set Score.repeatCommands
instead of \repeat and \alternative. It works, but I'm not sure if
it's a good way..

I can't understand what you mean with "instantiating a \parallelMusic
construct for every volta and alternative".
Even this (just repeat without alternatives) does not work:

\parallelMusic #'(VoiceA VoiceB) {
  \repeat volta 2 {
  r4 g' c e ~ |
  c,1 |

  e4 g, c e ~ |
  b1 |
  }
}

\new StaffGroup <<
\new Staff { \clef "G_8" \relative c << \VoiceA \\ \VoiceB  >> }
\new TabStaff { \clef "moderntab" \relative c << \VoiceA \\ \VoiceB  >> }
>>
