I'm not sure there is any "benefit" - just another way to get the job done. <ruby> is a way to provide explanatory text next to other text... from what I understand it's used mostly in providing translations for different languages. It has the ability to be put above, below, or to the side (for vertical languages) of words. It is fairly new, so may not be as widely supported as the <sup>, <sub> tags. It also requires a little more coding than sup/sub, but if you set up the "Clips Bar" in Sigil as mentioned above that is a trivial difference.
As for workflow...
To make it reflowable I would recommend getting basic text for the lyrics and then just inserting the <sup>/<sub> tags where needed by reference to the original sheet. Use the Clips bar in Sigil...I imagine it will go very quickly.
You mentioned you wanted it all "in one page in a readable font size"...that pretty much implies you want fixed format - which would be a nightmare to code - or just use a pdf. If you use pdf then you won't have to recode anything, but you will lose control over the font size.
Choices, choices...
