This is the kind of adjustment to dynamics that is probably better handled in a DAW or BIAB than in MuseScore.
BIAB and probably all DAWs allow "automation" and/or note editing precisely to allow the written notes to be interpreted closer to a real performance.

By constraining yourself to the use of hairpins, you may be making things more difficult for yourself.
