This is not my experience, and seems to be incompatible with enumerable discussions among trombonists on such topics as the "pivot" (Reinhardt) and "embouchure motion" (Doug Elliott). I find that I change my embouchure much more frequently on trombone than on euphonium or tuba.
We agree at least that the embouchures for these instruments are different.
