Put the overrides in a \layout block, like:

\layout {

  \override TabStaff.Stemstencil = ##f

}

This won't create a new context, but it will apply it when you create one.

It's also a way to keep music and style separated.

Yes, I keep them separated as much as I can.

Putting this in a layout block won’t work here, though. I have extended \improvisationOn to work to my liking with TabStaffs:

improvisationOn = {

  \set squashedPosition = #0

  \override NoteHead.style = #'slash

  \override Accidental.stencil = ##f

  \override AccidentalCautionary.stencil = ##f

  \override TabStaff.Stem.stencil = ##f

  \override TabStaff.Flag.stencil = ##f

  \override TabStaff.Beam.stencil = ##f

  \override TabStaff.Dots.stencil = ##f

}

I can’t simply put a layout block in there.

So, now by calling \improvisationOn in a score without a TabStaff I came upon the undesired output.

I see what's the problem. I had a similar one some time ago and i could not solve it:
