I find Gabriel has a point, it looks odd as is, and aligning it right
makes it better fit in with other states like "OK" or "Error: ..".

Having something like "Running" as text here would be nice, but  we
cannot just use a `.x-grid-row-loading:after { content: 'Running' }`
as that misses translations.

One option would be to avoid ExtJS CSS here and use font-awesome like
"fa fa-fw fa-circle-o-notch fa-spin", the only disadvantage from that
is that we lose the site-wide synced animation that the currently used
GIF provides, can be worked around but IIRC there's nothing native
available for doing so.

For now the adapted CSS would be an OK stop-gap, IIRC we only use such
grid loading classes for such scheduled-job grids. Adding it to PVE
(isn't there even anything besides replication using that?) would be
good too though. IMO no need for widget toolkit, I'd keep this contained
for now.
