Well, it turned out to keep that tutorial short. Still, I think it
will have its use, since questions about temp staves/divisi turn up at
regular intervals.
My first attempt is here:

Please, have a look, say what you (don't) like.
I still debate in my head what the best venue for this would be.

I am thinking of sharing my experiences as a user in this field by
contributing a tutorial or a practical experiences story (or whatever)
on this topic. It would make a distinction between:
1) temporary staves
2) divisi allocation over groups of staves
since these are different concepts, and they are handled differently by
the Lilypond user, although both depend on keepAliveInterfaces.
And I could contribute a bit on techniques to have >2 voices per staff,
rhythmically homophonic or rhythmically polyphonic, especially in the
context of divisi staves.
What would be the best venue for this? Lilypond docs? User list? Scores
of Beauty? If it gets into the Lilypond docs, it is there to "stay
forever" which would be nice.
One elaborate example of my experiences is found in the score and parts
of "3 Bruchstücke aus Wozzeck" by Alban Berg, see
https://imslp.org/wiki/Wozzeck%2C_Op.7_(Berg%2C_Alban) (travel to the
tab [Arrangements and Transcriptions]). One can have a look at e.g. the
Violins I part, mvt. 1, Bars 396-404; there is a 5-fold divisi which is
folded into one staff in the full score. Or practically any instrument
group, for that matter.

Wow, this is great! Thank you for sharing this with everyone! I'm
excited to study this more. :)
