This will still reserve space for them.  I'd rather use

\context {
  \Staff
  \omit Stem
  \omit Flag
}

Note that \omit is only defined after 2.17.5 or so, with earlier
versions you'll need

\context {
  \Staff
  \override Stem #'stencil = ##f
...

If it cranks out programming errors (I seem to remember that this
was a problem at some point of time), you can use

  \override Stem #'stencil = \point-stencil

instead.
