Yes, please.

Maybe I'm missing something, but :align-to accepts values in pixels,
so in general you could put a display property on the separating
whitespace and request that the whitespace ends at a certain pixel
coordinate from the left; that coordinate could somehow be computed
from org-tags-column, for example by multiplying it by
frame-char-width.
