Paolo, “I suspect it has been made, in the past, for an old fashioned style (not used in professional engraving, though).” Looking though my Paderewski Edition of Chopin’s Piano works I find all the pedaling indications horizontally aligned.

Of course I agree.
This is exactly how pedal alignments in music engraving are commonly done. You manually choose a reference and then align pedals at its left or right automatically by grouping them. Then you manually decide to break alignment when you see that it could cause ugly holes and/or there is enough distance between pedals. I don't understand where and why the Dynamics context came from. I suspect it has been made, in the past, for an old fashioned style (not used in professional engraving, though) in which you put dynamics (and *not* pedals) on a fixed horizontal line between the two staves. Of course this leads to bad alignments as well as a huge redundancy of text (--> skips) which grows and grows. That said,
Yes, this is necessary too.
