No.  I'm against it.  Introducing abbreviations into examples is a

\tuplet, but I would never inflict that on any public example, even

me at least.  Please don't do this.

Sigh.  I must admit that I don't understand this purism, which I
almost consider as l'art pour l'art.

Attached are the current version, my suggestion using an
abbreviation, and an alternative that uses wrapping only.

Of the new ones, which one do you consider more readable?

Why repeat \once that many times? Just wrap up all the overrides together and \once it once:

%%%%
\once \override FretBoard.size = #'1.0
\once \override FretBoard.fret-diagram-details.barre-type = #'straight
\once \override FretBoard.fret-diagram-details.dot-color = #'black
\once \override FretBoard.fret-diagram-details.finger-code = #'below-string
%% ...becomes...
\once {
  \override FretBoard.size = #'1.0
  \override FretBoard.fret-diagram-details.barre-type = #'straight
  \override FretBoard.fret-diagram-details.dot-color = #'black
  \override FretBoard.fret-diagram-details.finger-code = #'below-string
}
%%%%
