I like that solution most.

Yes, that may be a little bit too less for other cases, but in your
case the 12 sits exactly where it should sit: after the 6th note,
in front of the 7th note - if I counted right.

Yes. If you use \multnoteskip in such a context, then you are responsible
for any spacing. It may help - I didn't test it - to use \multnoteskip
in all appropriate places e.g. in all voices before any note with a new
timing value.
In addition PMX doesn't know of it. So it inserts additional space
for accidentals, which has to be adapted to the smaller notes.
It can be done by overfooling \ast for that notes.

Use "[m1u-3+2" instead of "[u-3+2".
And again. Imho the original solution is already ok. Or why should
the notes be small?
