I use that lyrics plugin and it works great. Basically you just enable it in navidrome and in your configuration you set the lyrics priority. I have it set so its lrc -> plugin -> text -> embedded so if i have krc lyrics already it pulls those and if not the plugin will search. If plugin fails it will check for any plaintext lyrics or embedded lyrics. This works with my feishin (pc) and symfonium (android) apps if I'm on my network or vpn'ed in (i don't expose my server).
Another thing you can do is use the LRCGET app which can bulk download them.
I haven't touched the ELRC lyrics yet but will look into pulling those
