Thanks for this great explanation!

Yes, works great!

Meanwhile, I had another idea, because the "lyrics", i.e. the fret diagrams,
are left-aligned in respect to the ChordNames, so I found a better solution,
just for the record:

\markup {
  \fill-line {
    \center-column { Gm \fret-diagram #"w:4;4-o;3-o;2-1;1-3;" }
    \center-column { X77 \fret-diagram #"w:4;4-o;3-o;2-1;1-3;" }
  }
}
