FWIW, there'd be also the possibility of adding a new button class, derived
from proxmoxButton, that would be a bit more boilerplate but also avoid having a
rather specific helper in the general utils class and avoid coupling from property
existance/behavior over such "code distance". Maybe we could also move some more
common "AltButton" behavior in there though (did not checked too closely).
What do you think?

Also, it could be great to avoid the "text at call time is the initial text"
assumption in the width calculation, e.g.,

let otherText = btn.text === btn.defaultText ? btn.altText : btn.defaultText;

currently unnecessary, but would make it more robust and to easy to not do, IMO.
