I strongly recommend against using 1*0 for anything.  Compare those two
examples:

\new Staff {
  c'1\< c'1\> <>\!
} \addlyrics { A -- men }

\new Staff {
  c'1\< c'1\> s1*0\!
} \addlyrics { A -- men }

Explaining what goes wrong in the second example is quite more
complicated than never recommending to use 1*0 in the first place.

And given that <> or s1*0 are comparatively likely to be used right at
the end of some passage (namely when there is nothing else coming up
that one could attach a post-event to), problems of those kinds are
actually not all that unlikely.
