Thanks for any help or ideas,

Here is my take that works from events not grobs, plus it allows flexibility in what you want to do between words:

%%%%
\version "2.20.0"

modifyContextPropertyWhereDefined =
#(define-scheme-function
  (prop value-or-proc) (symbol? scheme?)
  (lambda (context)
    (ly:context-set-property!
      (ly:context-property-where-defined context prop)
      prop
      (if (procedure? value-or-proc)
        (value-or-proc (ly:context-property context prop))
        value-or-proc))))

incrementBarNumber =
  \modifyContextPropertyWhereDefined
  internalBarNumber #1+

insertBar =
  \modifyContextPropertyWhereDefined
  whichBar \etc

betweenLyrics = #(define-scheme-function
  (proc) (procedure?)
  (lambda (context)
    (let ((first-lyric? #t) (hyphen? #f))
      (make-engraver
        (listeners
          ((hyphen-event engraver event) (set! hyphen? #t))
          ((lyric-event engraver event)
           (if first-lyric?
             (set! first-lyric? #f)
             (if (not hyphen?) (proc context)))
           (set! hyphen? #f)))))))

doBoth = #(define-scheme-function
  (proc1 proc2) (procedure? procedure?)
  (lambda args (apply proc1 args) (apply proc2 args)))

repetitions = #3
notes = \repeat unfold \repetitions {
  fis'4 4 4 4 4 4 4( 4) 4( 4 4) 4 4 }
words = \repeat unfold \repetitions \lyricmode {
  a b -- b c -- c -- c d e -- e f }

<< \new Staff { \cadenzaOn \new Voice = melody \notes }
   \new Lyrics \with {
    \consists \betweenLyrics \incrementBarNumber
   } \lyricsto melody \words >>

<< \new Staff { \cadenzaOn \new Voice = melody \notes }
   \new Lyrics \with {
    \consists \betweenLyrics \insertBar "'"
   } \lyricsto melody \words >>

<< \new Staff { \cadenzaOn \new Voice = melody \notes }
   \new Lyrics \with {
    \consists \betweenLyrics \doBoth \insertBar "" \incrementBarNumber
   } \lyricsto melody \words >>
