hi Andrew

first I think it will often look a little strange if you have stems going up
and down because of the attachment of the stems to the left or right of the
note head - even if the note heads are evenly spaced the stems will look
uneven.

in *NR 4.5.5 Proportional notation* there is a few proposals how to define
proportional settings.

and with \newSpacingSection it is alway possible to redefine or revert these
settings

I have set

\layout {
  \context {
    \Score
    proportionalNotationDuration = #(ly:make-moment 1/32)
    \override SpacingSpanner.uniform-stretching = ##t
    \override SpacingSpanner.strict-note-spacing = ##t
    \accidentalStyle dodecaphonic
  }
}

and this looks quite reasonable to me.
