Without trying to edit Gimp image files, possible workarounds.

A plug-in changefont.py to change size/font in all text layers except those in a
layer group  https://github.com/akkana/gimp-plugins/blob/master/changefont.py

A (fixed) plug-in group_chfont_group.py only changes text layers in a group
https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-Help-Plugin-killed-by-last-update?pid=2060#pid2060
Two plugins in the zip choose one of them.

A script to group/ungroup layers.

Need to apply as a batch? maybe the first will work.
