Hi David,
I’m not sure if you ever got a response to this email? (The list archive
suggests the answer is no…)
Note that including a small working example would improve your chances of
having someone respond.

There have been threads recently about exactly this issue of certain grobs not
being affected by attempts to modify certain properties — hopefully that will
be addressed soon in a way that is less frustrating for the user(s).

As you probably know, extra-offset should be a last resort. Have you tried
extra-spacing-width instead?
%%% SNIPPET BEGINS
\version "2.23.82"
pBreathe =
\tweak BreathingSign.font-size 2
\tweak BreathingSign.extra-spacing-width #'(0 . 1.5)
\parenthesize
\breathe
music = {
c''4 4 \pBreathe 2\fermata
}
%%% SNIPPET ENDS

Sounds like a job for a music function! :)
Hope this helps!
Kieren.
