But another user, using version 2.10, may have the same interest.

If I am not mistaken, using the ofn-text-alog-path plugin with the Layout option as Justify, and adding a space before the first number ( 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 ) would produce the text centering around the circle.

Would be better to use the "Multi" option, after using ofn-path-to-shape to produce the "support paths" at regular intervals. 



Because what the OP appears to want isn't a text spread out on a circle, it is digits at regular intervals.

But unless I'm mistaken, which is quite possible, using the ofn-text-alog-path plugin also places the digits at regular intervals.

The images below demonstrate:
  • The application of the 'Multi" option, after using ofn-path-to-shape' - in red;
  • The application of ofn-text-alog-path - in blue;
  • The overlap of both techniques.
    

Yes but in this case only because the digits are all the same width (which is I admit the usual case for digits). But replace the digits by numbers (1..12), or letters (I,II, III ... IX, X, XI, XII) and the  single text-along-path fails while the multi-path still works.
