This is a great idea (and a feature I've been missing for quite some time).

In the current version, subsequent systems get a positive short-indent 
even if there is no shortInstrumentName given. Is that on purpose? I 
would have expected a minimal

\version "2.22.0"

\new Staff { \repeat unfold 64 c'4 }

to yield the same result before and after your patch.
