I never used that form, in fact, because I don't like information to be placed
at different columns over the different headlines.

Nor can't you do it with the first version, right?

And the problem will stay, even if we have events keyword'ed with APPT or
EVENT, do you agree?

I never use `M-q' on headlines, as I know they have to stay on one line,
whichever their length... A solution to this could be to make an Org-aware
version of `M-q' that would not try to refill Org headlines.
