I moved the saddle on our Bullitt back 25 mm, and so far no issues. I was very suprised!
Mind you, I'm on flat pedals. -
Or you need a longer stem/bike so relationship wit BB stays the same while being able to stretch out

I've moved my saddle a cm backwards and it feels good I think? Slight elbow annoyance is gone, but in return I got a minor niggle in my knee. Maybe because I didn't account for the saddle dropping slightly
Moving the saddle backward increases the distance from saddle to BB, so you should indeed lower the seatpost slightly to compensate.

Maybe because I didn't account for the saddle dropping slightly, or it might just take some getting used to it. Further experimentation necessary. I thought I'd want to bring my bars closer to keep the reach the same, but it actually feels like I could do with a longer stem now.
@carlosbrown it definitely is
