It works for me, attached.

I looked through my scores and found a publication that mixes barlines
with lyrics: Bärenreiter BA 5014a (1961/1989) BWV 248. As a bass, this
affected me less than most as, apart from the general clutter, it only
directly interferes with ties and slurs.

I can see no extra space introduced before long lyric syllables except
what's necessary to avoid a collision with the barline. The gap is
often about as thin as the adjacent barline; to judge the actual
proportion would require a travelling microscope.

Cheers,
David.
