I just have no idea what the syntax for starting a new staff "late" is.

From this email list I learned the term "Frenched Score." It refers to removing unused staves, and is explained at the documentation link given earlier:

<http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.22/Documentation/notation/modifying-single-staves.html#hiding-staves>

Which place also shows the \RemoveAllEmptyStaves command for doing that.

For the vocal staff starting 8 measures later, I'd try giving it full-measure rests like { R1 } until it's ready to start.
