Probably, but I'd have to consult some other scores to see how publishers handle this.
I'm pretty sure I would not. But let me follow up with another example. Suppose that there is no grace note in the piccolo part, but it does still have an accidental. By the spacing scheme you've sketched out, the cello's grace note would still be pushed too far to the left, because you're calculating by its EDU position, and that has to start to the left of the entire column of stuff that's on the beat.
If your goal is to only space grace notes by EDU position, I agree that it shouldn't be all that hard to implement, but I think that would still leave a lot of grace notes misplaced. And you'd need something else for classic appoggiaturas, which play on the beat.
On the other hand, it would probably be an improvement over the current system. And if it's made a Music Spacing Option that can be turned on or off, then there would be potential upside with no downside, so I'm all for it.
