One last thought: when I wrote this I assumed that you are already playing on decently substantial reeds. Not super heavy, but more than tissue paper.

Too many times I've had students come to a first lesson, and I literally have to pry an old, closed, tissue paper reed from their clenched hands. When I give them a real reed (which is still super soft, but takes more than a sneeze to play), they have major difficulty supporting enough air. I give them a regiment of long tones, and scales, and a week later they come back being able to support enough to play the reed.
