Here's a file with all different spacings from 2.0 to 4.0...Looking at some scores with two lyrics lines (mostly oratorios with two different language), I would tend to choose 2.8 or 3.0.
+1.
There are some other issues I notice with the layout:1) For my taste the piece names are too close to the previous score (and too far away from the one they are attached to).
+1.
2) The distance between the last lyrics line to the next staff is not constant throughout the page!
It's not a bug, it's a feature. At least I think so - it's because of the default 'staff-affinity to the top staff. See the attached file with 'staff-affinity = #CENTER. You won't change the 'minimum-distance for each system in a real-world example, so IMHO it'd be a very minor problem, anyway.
Still, the lyrics have a larger subjective whitespace distance to the staff below than the one above, probably due to the spacing based on the baseline.
