  \override Staff.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f
(or remove "Time_signature_engraver" but I would not use this because
of possible "side-effects" that could occur)

IIRC \cadenzaOn prevents automatic line breaks, you need to insert
manually \bar "" commands at places you want to allow line breaks.

  \set Timing.defaultBarType = ""
does not have this drawback and thus might be preferable depending on
what you want.
