The 9.5mm recommendation is probably for the skin pads, not for the leather pads.
It is a little difficult to achieve good seal with the 9mm leather pads esp. on the side keys...
I am an amateur and only re-pad my own instruments but I had my r13 re-padded by a tech using leather pads and the clarinet holds vacuum well.
I re- padded myself my A clarinet (also Bufet) using Pisoni skin pads and it is not holding the vacuum as well as the one done professionally...
If I played professionally I would not repad the A myself, it would go to a pro...
