This seems like a bug, so I forward it to bug-lilypond. For example,
#(set-global-staff-size 16)

I don't understand why a few things (staff size and beaming behavior
come to mind) need to be set using Scheme setter functions.  Why can't
we just use global-staff-size = #16 in a paper block?

This function sets a number of different parameters. Of course, in theory it
should be possible to rewrite the program so that all these values are derived from a single parameter like global-staff-size, but I guess that this would involve
quite a lot of hacking.

  Speaking of
beaming, where should I use #override-auto-beam-setting if I want to
specify beaming behavior for the entire (polyphonic) piece?
Use #(score-override-auto-beam-setting ...) or #(override-auto-beam-setting ... 'Score) as described in the section on Setting automatic beam behavior. Still, you have to insert these commands together with the notes. Unfortunately, you cannot do it
in a \layout{...} block, which would have been a cleaner solution.
