While not needed for diagonal matrices of the type portrayed by the OP, the package has a fixTABwidth<T or F> declaration to fix all column widths to the largest found in the matrix. That can be helpful if there are wide matrix entries:

You could if you liked to use the package nicematrix. Between the many options defined by nicematrix there is columns-width, where you can fit the two brackets of the matrix in function of the values into it.

Another possibility using columns-width = auto:
