A DrumVoice has different musical content than a Voice (uses the `drum-type` NoteEvent property rather than `pitch`, generating different midi output, etc). However, a RhythmicStaff only changes how the staff looks, not the actual musical content. Thus, there's no need for a separate RhythmicVoi

In `engraver-init.ly` (line 111 on my version), there is a line saying `\alias "Staff"`. That line makes the DrumStaff context listen to `\set Staff.*` as well as `\set DrumStaff.*`. (DrumVoice is similarly aliased to Voice.) They're both equal, so I'd recommend using `Staff.*` for consistency.
