The typical Markdown answer to needing indentation preserved is the "code fence" (triple backquotes ```), though I imagine the problem with that is that Obsidian by default stops dealing with Wikilinks inside fenced code. I don't know Obsidian that well, but maybe there's a way to use a code fence and have it support Wikilinks inside?

A different direction to explore might be to explore proportional font coding techniques that rely less on whitespace. Lisp can be a good language to play with those ideas given whitespace isn't syntactic. Though idiomatic Lisp has certainly relied on semantic whitespace in coding styles for a very long time.
