For some strange reason (I'm going to open a bug ticket for this), it
seems that these two grobs don't call it minimum-length but
minimum-distance.

\version "2.22.2"

{ c'1 1 1 }
\addlyrics {
  \override LyricHyphen.minimum-distance = 10
  \override LyricSpace.minimum-distance = 20
  aaah -- aaah aaah
}


Best,
