Thanks for digging into that, Lukas-Fabian!

The quoted override works when inserted into my MWE in the right place: 
Instead of placing it in the \with {} part of the PianoStaff it should 
be placed AFTER the \set PianoStaff.connectArpeggios = ##t

So the following MWE version works perfectly now:

%%% MWE v2.0

\version "2.25.31"
\score {
  \new PianoStaff \with {
    % seems to be added by default in PianoStaff
    % \consists "Span_arpeggio_engraver"
  }{
    <<
      \set PianoStaff.connectArpeggios = ##t
      \override PianoStaff.Arpeggio.arpeggio-direction = #DOWN
      \new Staff {
        \relative c' {
          <d e g c>1\arpeggio
        }
      }
      \new Staff {
        \clef bass
        \relative c {
          <c c'>1\arpeggio
        }
      }
    >>
  }
}
