No problem, just modify the definition of the top staff like this:

scoreAViolinIPart = \new Staff \with {
  \consists "Bar_number_engraver"
  \override BarNumber.break-visibility = ##(#t #t #t)
  instrumentName = "Violin I"
  midiInstrument = "violin"
} \scoreAViolinI

The break-visibility override is described in NR 1.2.5.

Best, Simon
