I tested the data pack, and the function didn't merge the nbt. So I didn't get a bigger explosion when the creeper exploded.
I wear full netherite with max blast resistance, I let a creeper explode on me, and no bigger radius.

This doesn't appear to be a mojang issue, but an issue with the datapack itself.
