If they each had a different value of :align-to, then I'd have to update
those values of align-to every time text size or window size changes,
which is something I want to avoid.

No, I want my :align-to specs to stay the same as text changes. If
that's not possible with :align-to specs, then I'd use some other
feature to implement the centering.
As I mentioned in my initial email, it's entirely possible to center
text in Emacs today, even by just inserting spaces. But that doesn't
update automatically when text or window size changes; those spaces (or
:align-to specs, in your proposal - they're basically the same) need to
be updated by Lisp code running in post-command-hook or elsewhere, as
you say.
I want this centering display to be handled by the display engine, as
other similar things are.
