Also, to a great extent, \after, which has consumed a larger-than-usual amount
of mailing list electrons of late… ;)

Yes. The main reason I don't compose “into Lilypond” is the irritation with
implementing formal changes, which really comes down to the sequential nature
of the note code — the ability to “natively” [and, dare we hope, really
easily/simply?] insert/replace musical elements at “arbitrary” moments would be
a game-changer.

I disagree: check the archives for all the talk about skips and global
variables and the like, and you'll see that this is a fundamental pain point
for just about every user who moves beyond the very simplest of scores.
Cheers,
Kieren.
