as if anyone can notice 0.8cm on a mountain bike

I had the same question when I was looking for forks to build up my bike... did some research and there are so many bullshit stories, I even found a video of a guy timing himself doing laps with different offset forks.
I think in reality it doesn't really make much difference. -
It probably won’t be perceptible. There’s is obviously a change but I don’t think you’d be able to tell a difference even in a back to back test.
I would say get the 150mm 42mm offset Lyrik. You can just change the travel with a new air spring if 150 ends up feeling like too much. But I’d guess you’d stick to 150 once you try it.
Edit - this explains the differences fairly well

How dumb/stupid/dangerous is it to put a 52mm offset Pike on a Stumpy designed around 44mm. The other option is a 41mm fork and a 4 month wait.
or increase the travel to 150 and get 42mm offset Lyrik?
