Thanks, that took care of the alignment.
However now I see an empty staff. Is it expected I would then have to
remove all empty staves? I tried that but may not have it right
\version "2.24.2"
\language "english"
\layout {
indent = 0
\context {
\NullVoice
\RemoveAllEmptyStaves
}
}
verseLyricsMelody = \relative c' {
c4 c c c~ | c c c c |
}
verseOneLyrics = \lyricmode {
one two three four five six seven eight
}
\new Score {
<<
\new Voice = "verse" { \break \verseLyricsMelody }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "verse" { \verseOneLyrics }
>>
<<
\new NullVoice = "verseB" { \break \verseLyricsMelody }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "verseB" { \verseOneLyrics }
>>
}

My understanding is that Devnull is not intended for alignment of
lyrics because it does not have the necessary engraver to create the
invisible grobs used for alignment. It appears to me in your example
that actually the lyrics are just being spaced evenly without
alignment to anything. Nullvoice is intended for your use case.

Am I missing something? It seems like using devnull to align
lyrics to does pay attention to ties. Ties do seem to be honored
when using voice for alignment.
Below is a stripped down example with screenshot.
\version "2.24.2"
\language "english"
\layout {
indent = 0
}
verseLyricsMelody = \relative c' {
c4 c c c~ | c c c c |
}
verseOneLyrics = \lyricmode {
one two three four five six seven eight
}
\new Score {
<<
\new Voice = "verse" { \break \verseLyricsMelody }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "verse" { \verseOneLyrics }
>>
<<
\new Devnull = "verseB" { \break \verseLyricsMelody }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "verseB" { \verseOneLyrics }
>>
}
