What I would find useful is an option with that you can allow LilyPond
to break mid-measure at certain points. For example that you say: "In
4/4 time you may also break in the middle", or "In 9/8 time you may
break also at the 4th and 7th quaver".
This would make it possible to have a more flexible breaking (on
request, not by default) without having to write and include a
dedicated extra voice.
No need for another voice if you want to do manual mid-bar breaking:
\relative c'' { c2 c | c c | c c | c c | c c | c c | c \break \bar "" c
| c c | c c | }
Of course you can write it directly in the music. But it will be
cleaner to separate it out in an extra voice.
But the main point is to have an _automatic_ solution that allows more
- and more flexible - breaking patterns without having to specify
possible break points manually.

I was replying to your comment "possible to have a more flexible
breaking (...) without having to write and include a dedicated extra
voice" by showing that you don't need an extra voice. You might put
one, but you don't need one.
