Adding counts to ggmosaic, can this be done simpler?

Question

I would like to make a mosaic plot using the ggmosaic package and add the counts as shown in the example below.

The example sort of works, but I find the structure o

I've previously made similar charts in pure ggplot2, without using the ggmosaic package. I don't know if this would be sufficient for your use case, though:

# data manipulation
data %>%
  group_by(a, b) %>%
  summarise(n = n()) %>%
  mutate(x.width = sum(n)) %>%

  # simulate mosaic plot
  ggplot(aes(x = factor(a), y = n)) +
  geom_col(aes(width = x.width, fill = factor(b)),
           colour = "white", size = 1, position = position_fill(reverse = TRUE)) +
  geom_label(aes(label = n),
             position = position_fill(vjust = 0.5)) +
  facet_grid(~ a, space = "free", scales = "free", switch = "x") +

  # cosmetic tweaks
  scale_x_discrete(name = "a") +
  scale_y_continuous(labels = scales::percent) +
  theme(axis.text.x = element_blank(),
        axis.ticks.x = element_blank(),
        axis.title.y = element_blank(),
        strip.background = element_blank(),
        panel.spacing = unit(0, "pt"))
