It looks like the spacing is not really distorted by the lyrics here but rather by the accidentals, so that snippet won't help much (what it does is basically making the spacing engine forget about lyrics, then space them itself). There might be ways to reduce the importance of accidentals in the spacing problem, but I don't really recall this, it's been a long time. It's interesting though that adding \override Score.SpacingSpanner.spacing-increment = 5 in \layout evens out the spacing a lot. Of course, for a longer score, this will spread out the music, so it's not really a solution, but it might be worth trying to flank that measure with \newSpacingSection and give it a different spacing-increment.
