Setting the x coordinate of inline latitude labels with non PlateCarree projections

[vikasnataraja]

Is there an option to change the default x or longitude positions of inline latitude labels, particularly when using projections like Orthographic? Here's an example of what the current behavior is:

fig = plt.figure(figsize=(10, 10))
ax = fig.add_subplot(projection=ccrs.Orthographic(200, 67))
gl = ax.gridlines(draw_labels=True, y_inline=True, x_inline=False)
ax.add_feature(cartopy.feature.OCEAN)
# disable set extent for now
# ax.set_extent([170, 215, 58, 75], crs=ccrs.PlateCarree()) 
plt.show()

which results in this figure as expected:

The issue of inline latitude placement becomes noticeable when an extent is applied to zoom in using, for example, ax.set_extent([170, 215, 58, 75], crs=ccrs.PlateCarree()) which then produces this image:

The latitude labels go missing, essentially, because they are placed on the 90/-90 meridian (which I found via gl.label_artists). There are a couple of workarounds on StackOverflow like this one here but they didn't work for me and they seem like temporary fixes anyway. Is there a way to set the x coordinate of the latitude labels when they are inline, ideally regardless of if the extent is set or not? I'm not sure if this is also an issue with other projections or just the Orthographic.
