Sep 25 at 15:32 comment added varkor I believe essentially the same approach as in the monoidal case should, using the strictification theorem for bicategories.
Feb 26, 2021 at 17:25 comment added Mike Shulman FWIW, note that the notion of closed bicategory (or closed monoidal category) is not one for which "all diagrams commute". A counterexample for right-closed monoidal categories can be found in section 5 of Lambek's paper Deductive systems and categories I. However, this example involves noninvertible maps, so it's not necessarily an obstacle to strictifying the associativity/unit isomorphisms for the right extensions as you suggest.
