As far as I know there is no way around that.  The rounded ends are a
deliberate choice for emulating hand-engraved scores made with pinches in
metal plates.  The rounded ends are a characteristic of engraving punches.

And ledger lines are drawn by LilyPond, rather than generated by a font
glyph.

(see https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.26/Documentation/essay/music-fonts)

It is always possible for you to find.the ledger.line code and change it,
but I think there is no tweak for the roundedness for the lines.
