No, the indent-expanders style property will not be of use here.  What
the indent-expanders style property does is distinguish between

and this case:

Avoiding "wasting" space for non-parent nodes is not something that is
supported by GtkTreeView by default.  If you really want to deviate from
the defaults here, the custom expander cell renderer route Thomas talks
about in his mail is probably your best bet.
