At least in the minimal example

\layout {
  \context {
    \Lyrics
    \consists "Rest_engraver"
    \override Rest.Y-offset = 0.5
  }
}

\new Voice { c''4 d'' e'' f'' }
\addlyrics { c d \notemode { \parenthesize  r4 } f }

works as well.
If we allow this general approach for every Lyrics-context (and
ofcourse we do so), then it's a strong argument to allow \with for the
context created by \addlyrics as well.
