I would recommend creating separate staves (with zero staff lines and no barlines) for the time sigs. Then apply the time sigs as expressions. (You can set them to self-position automatically.) The only issue is gonna be cautionary time sigs at the end of systems. You probably can't quite achieve the exact look of the Carter's cautionaries without a huge fuss.
Finale 25.3 introduced the ability to show time sigs in the part whilst hiding them in the score, so that's what you should select for each staff as well.
