Perhaps open a tracker issue for this?
The question is not only valid for text spanners but also hairpins,
glissandos,
etc.
Last time I looked, this issue purportedly "Allows minimum-length to
work for end-of-line spanners." And according to the regtest, it does
not do the job. Without additional messing with springs-and-rods it
does not allow minimum-length to work for end-of-line-spanners.
The only thing more frustrating than missing functionality is
purportedly available functionality that needs non-user-comprehensible
trickery to actually work.
Please don't turn LilyPond into a secret bag of tricks only for the
initiated. It is emasculating its users.
Separately problematic is that the secret interface contains
\override TextSpanner.springs-and-rods = #ly:spanner::set-spacing-rods
which apparently should be the default but is only tested in a single
regtest. So it is not clear that using this functionality would not
break other things elsewhere.
