See [Fit Text to Circle / Mike Bostock | Observable](https://observablehq.com/@mbostock/fit-text-to-circle)
Also, Observable Plot has some heuristics to measure text and wrap it in SVG. They are used in the text and tip marks, but you can also copy from the source code if you like (provided you respect the license).
