If it works, yes.

In *scratch* evaluate

(defvar my-thumbify nil)
(defvar my-counter 0)

(defun window--resize-root-window (window delta horizontal ignore pixelwise)
  "Resize root window WINDOW vertically by DELTA lines.
HORIZONTAL non-nil means resize root window WINDOW horizontally
by DELTA columns.

IGNORE non-nil means ignore any restrictions imposed by fixed
size windows, `window-min-height' or `window-min-width' settings.

This function is only called by the frame resizing routines.  It
resizes windows proportionally and never deletes any windows."
  (when my-thumbify
    (setq my-counter (1+ my-counter)))
  (when (and (windowp window) (numberp delta))
    (let ((pixel-delta
	   (if pixelwise
	       delta
	     (window--size-to-pixel window delta horizontal))))
      (when (window-sizable-p window pixel-delta horizontal ignore t)
	(window--resize-reset (window-frame window) horizontal)
	(window--resize-this-window
	 window pixel-delta horizontal ignore t)))))

and bind my-thumbify to t around your `enlarge-font' call.  Then tell me
the value of my-counter.

I believe that your code works just as you say that it does.  So this
won't help.

Maybe.  The problem is to boil this down to a minimum test example.  If
that example is three files long, it will take me a year to find out.

If you don't investigate yourself and come up with a simple, repeatable
example, I'm afraid we won't be able to fix this soon.
