Sure.  But \RemoveEmptyStaves will make no difference on Lyrics.
keepAliveInterfaces is all that you need to play with.

Well, you can probably cheat by writing
\new Lyric \with { \whatevercommandsetsStaff.keepAliveInterfaces }
{ ... }
in which case "Staff." is not getting heeded.  But of course the whole
point was to change keepAliveInterfaces in midflight, so this is not
terribly useful.
