Yeah, I merged all layers under the "shade/texture" layres, including the texts, only kept template elements on top, exported and sent for printing.

I'm not sure if I understand the situation but I don't think I encounter this problem with my version of Gimp.

The generated PDF presents the final image respecting the 50% opacity of all layers (except the one at the base of the layer stack - full opaque)

As stated by OP you have to use layer blend modes other than Normal. Gimp exports the PDF as if all lawyers were in  Normal mode:
