You could just remove the bar checks from the lyrics selectively, like
lyrics_b = #(map-some-music (music-type-predicate 'bar-check) lyrics_b)
However, that would not get you rid of the warnings because of music
with unequal length. The warnings are intended for locating problems:
removing them has its own problems. Have you considered specifying your
lyrics with durations, like \lyricmode { one 2. two 4 } (spaces before
durations are optional)?
