Short term yes. Youd be better with Argon or nitro though.So would this be an option to replace topping off the carboy with liquid after racking off Lees?
Use of inert gasses will not really work when your carboy is sealed with a fermentation trap. Professional wineries use inert gas only when the storage container has an air tight seal. Unless you "cap" your carboy, do not waste your time and money on an inert gas setup!
But won't the gas create a wall on to of the wine so the air don't touch it? It don't matter if co2 pushes the gas out, as long as air doesn't come in contact with the wine. Right?

I must agree with everything u already mentioned.
I believe always topping off is the best solution -
I come up with air bladder bags that would take up that space in the Carboy and it really never took off. It is easier just to top off with store bought or similiar
