How about:

<<
\new Staff { \time 3/4 b'4 4 4  2. }
\new Staff { b'8 8 2 \set Staff.timeSignatureFraction = #'(3 . 4) 2. }
\new Staff { b'4. 8 r4 2. }

One option would be to use \time again, but then manually omit the 
signature where you do not want it to appear:



\version "2.22.0"

noTime = \omit Staff.TimeSignature
<< \new Staff { \once \noTime \time 3/4 b'4 4 4 }
   \new Staff { b'8 8 2 }
   \new Staff { \once \noTime b'4. 8 r4 } >>
