Also, some wikis include more stuff in their reflist-like templates; for
example [[pl:Template:Przypisy]] unconditionally includes the heading.

Hardcoding the number of columns is the same, except worse, since it can't be
adjusted to the capabilities of the browser/device without violating CSS spec.

CSS only allows specifying column width "hints", anyway, and they can be
measured in ems. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/column-width
