Which drop shadow tool are you using?
There is the Gimp 2.8 / Gimp 2.10 legacy filter which has a tick box to allow resizing. That will add transparency to the canvas. example: https://i.imgur.com/OEKJtuU.jpg
or
The GEGL drop shadow which works in a different way, need transparency in the layer, as far as I know that that works up to the layer boundary and no further. (at least it does for me)
