AFAIK Vtable is intended to support fixed-width fonts, if so-configured 
(and if a case is found in which it doesn't, that would be a bug, AFAIK).

IMHO, I would strongly encourage the use of Vtable going forward, over 
tabulated-list-mode.  It's more powerful (e.g. can show images, and 
individual objects can be updated in-place), and its API is easier to 
use (e.g. objects can be used as-is rather than having to make vector 
containers).

An example of using Vtable can be seen in my listen.el package: 
<https://github.com/alphapapa/listen.el/blob/69432d45b9654e4a9592e229b0315fd446390e1b/listen-queue.el> 
 You can see that it's pretty straightforward to use.

My two cents.  :)
