This all leads me to another related question for those of you who claim to
double on alto, tenor, bass trombone, euphonium, and tuba. How do you
accomplish all this without ³burbling² attacks on notes? Apparently you have
found a single embouchure setting that works for all of the circumstances on
all of these instruments?

 
"Claim" to double???????? LOL
I can't speak for anyone else, but in my case. 1) find a mouthpiece that works for you.
I copied that rim (Doug Elliott mp's) for use on Alto & Tenor & Euph & Bass Trumpet. 
2) Tuba & Contrabass Trb, I use another favorite rim.
 
PLUS, I've been playing multiple sized instruments for over 40 years. It does take practice to accomplish this, it doesn't happen over night.
 
That's me, your mileage may vary.
 
Tom
