The spot treatment looked like it work very well on the back. But TBH I think this coat is one size too small for you even after stretching. It's more modern day 38/40, and you're 42. The shoulder/back feels tight right? I can see why you would put in all the time to make it work though, it is very nice coat, I would too try to make it work.
I am guessing this leather is more chrome tanned than veg tanned right? I tried your soak and stretch method on a few of my jackets before but I didn't document them. The 5Star chrome tanned always turned out better than the veg tanned vicenza, which would actually shrink about 1/4" to 1/2" once fully dried even when it did stretch when soaked. Just wanted to point that out veg tan can be very tricky with water and heat. Chrome no problem.
