I think that’s likely the best way.

After every single line (as opposed to the entire markup)? I believe if you use
the markup functions (e.g., justify, column, and their kin), Lilypond won’t
split the chunk across a page break.

I don’t know of one.
That being said, when I’m building a multi-score book in which some scores may
end/begin mid-page, I explicitly use \bookpart to wrap chunks of scores that
*do* begin and end at page breaks. Within the bookpart, I can then have finer
control over inter-markup and inter-score spacing, page and system counts, etc.
If you don’t mind adding \bookpart {} wrappers to your book, I highly recommend
going that direction.
Cheers,
Kieren.
