Two observations:

If callers want to add something before a joined delimited list, they
already can with a strbuf_add* call.  No need to add that feature to
a function that joins lists.

And repetitions of repetitions (loops) are boring.

Apologies in advance for any coffee stains on your monitor, but
here's how I would start, probably followed by attempts to inline the
functions that become trivial wrappers:
