It doesn't remove the barlines, but with a height of zero, you are not
likely to notice the difference.

##t is not a stencil anyway (neither is ##f, but it is a shorthand for
"switch it off").
I tried \override BarLine #'bar-extent = #'(-2 . 2) instead (from the
definition of RhythmicStaff in ly/engraver-init.ly), but it seems it
would need at least one line.
However, instead of meddling with the line-count (which also affects
layout), you can just let the lines have no appearance: I find that
\override Staff.StaffSymbol #'stencil = ##f
\override Staff.LedgerLineSpanner #'stencil = ##f
seems to do the trick (assuming that you don't want to see ledger lines
either; omit the last line if that assumption is wrong).
