Hi Barry,
I agree this is a nice-to-have feature, but rather tricky to implement so that it works well in terms of practicality, user experience and performance.
Have you tried setting a min-width style to the Grid table? This is an easy and script-less approach to achieve always-visible width-less columns, which usually does the job. I hope this technique will fit your use case.
The following page provides more information and sample code snippets:
https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/controls/data-management/grid/appearance/columns/widths
On a side note, even if your scenario is complex and static min-width may not work well, you can consider applying variable min-width to the tables programmatically, instead of setting different widths to all columns.
Regards,
Dimo
