It worked for me when I used \crossStaff on the upper chord, not the lower:

\version "2.23.9"

\layout {
  \context {
    \PianoStaff
    \consists "Span_stem_engraver"
  }
}

\new PianoStaff <<
  \new Staff {
    \crossStaff { <ais' fis''>4 } r r2 |
  }
  \new Staff {
    \clef bass
    <dis dis'>4 r r2 |
  }
