So I'm fairly certain using Solemnity and Phyrexian Unlife with Sylvan Library would allow me to draw 3 cards per turn without taking damage. But I was wondering if I could do the same thing with Nine Lives in place of Phyrexian Unlife. Since I'm paying life per card, would Nine Lives even trigger?
Most people use Alhammarret's Archive with sylvan Library so you draw four put two back or if your have blue you can use the new Teferi's Ageless Insight to accomplish the same thing.

Or you can use Abundance with Sylvan Library. The drawback is that you have to show the cards, but on the other hand, you can choose whether you get 3 lands or nonlands.

Instead of trying to cheat the cost
may i suggest taking advantage of the ability of setting the top card of your deck?
ie. Miracles or one of the many cards that let you cheat out the top card of your deck.

If you are worried about the loss of life you could just throw in lifgain. Maybe Venser's Journal

Neither work as you can not pay life you do not have. As soon as you have 3 or less life you are unable to pay to keep extra cards.
