You could use a variable to make the staff change command shorter but
staff changes _are_ annoying! ;D
csu = {
\change Staff = "2U"
\stemUp
}
cso = {
\change Staff = "2O"
\stemDown
}

I'd recommend to start your "voice" within the staff where it starts.
And yes, you must "keep the other staff alive" as explained in the doc.

Forget about \overrideBeamSettings , it has been change in most recent
version. Please upgrade and refer to latest version of the doc
(2.13.46): \overrideTimeSignatureSettings
I'd use a beamException here (see code below).
For better explanation, see the doc (2.13.46).

csu = {

ZweiOben = \relative c' {

ZweiUnten = \relative c' {
