I doubt very much that the clasical saxophone player does not make ANY adjustments to embouchure over the range of ppp low Bb to fff high C (altissimo) to fff low Bb to ppp altissimo C. I don't think the horn and the human body can actually be made to work that way.
I strongly suspect the "no adjustments" is actually intended to keep people from dropping their jaw enormously for low notes and biting like crazy for high notes, and rather to push them toward the actual subtle adjustments that are done by skilled players.
Certainly, using a 9* mouthpiece with 3.5 reeds is working way too hard unless you are trying to play in a rock band unamplified; and tonguing the saxophone to the roof of the mouth is an extremely unusual and non-standard method - everyone else touches the reed slightly. With a rig and technique like that, I'd never be able to get notes started and playing except with big tasteless honks and very little control of volume. (Not that I'm a virtuoso, but I've been playing saxophone for 40+ years in a wide range of settings.)
Why don't you try something like a #6 Link or #8 Meyer, and #2.5 reeds?
