As can be seen in the attached image, the bar lines – especially for
the end bar – are too thick.  While it is correct to not adjust the
bar lines for `\magnifyStaff` so that they harmonize with staves in
other sizes in the same system, this doesn't seem right for
`set-global-staff-size`, which influences everything.

Well, \magnifyStaff does indeed change the barline thickness, see the Known Issues at https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.25/Documentation/notation/setting-the-staff-size#index-_005cmagnifyStaff

However, I agree with your general concern, at least if it's an issue also for less extreme staff sizes.
