I think we still want enough 'minimum-distance to the lower staff so that Lyrics are always a little closer to the Staff they are associated with, than they are to the next lower staff. Is that what you intended, or do people reading choral music like to have lyrics centered between the two staves?

There isn't a single answer to this question:

If the lyrics are common to the staff above and the staff below, the single lyric line is usually centred between them. In this case there would normally be only two vocal staves and the dynamics would be placed above the higher and below the lower staff.

But if each staff has its own lyrics each lyric line would be placed underneath and closer to the related staff, with all dynamics placed above their staff.
