Further down in that thread is an implementation of shorten-pair with
hairpins: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2016-06/msg00277.html

This will allow you independent control of the left and right ends,
regardless of whether a dynamic or dynamics are preset.
(Bound-padding works only when a dynamic is present, and affects right
and left equally.).

It's a rewrite of the Hairpin stencil function.  One benefit of doing
this is there is no scaling of the shortened or lengthened Hairpin.
Possibly this avoids distortion.

HTH,
