You had it almost right here. The one thing you need to change is that
the implicitBassFigures property is part of the FiguredBass context, not
Staff. Since there is no implicitBassFigures property in the Staff context
that \set command will just get silently ignored. So either change the
\set Staff.implicitBassFigures
to
\set FiguredBass.implicitBassFigures
or, since these statements are already in the FiguredBass context, just
leave the context off and make it just
\set implicitBassFigures
And then you should be good.
