I don’t usually define a new Voice for it:
\new Staff << \marks \partI >>
But I’m 100% in favour of the concept, and use it in every single score I
engrave.

Yes — all of that and more. Engravers can be moved around between contexts to
make sure things appear where they are meant to be (e.g., Mark_engraver usually
at the Score level, Time_signature_engraver usually at the Staff level, etc.).

That would work, of course. However, it might be simpler to just wrap the whole
thing, e.g.
\new Staff \keepWithTag #’partI <<
\new Voice \markVoice
\new Voice \partI
>>
in case there are “conditional items” in the mark part.
One final [semi-related] note: 95% (or maybe more) of my \tag usage has been
eliminated by using the \editionEngraver.
Hope this helps!
