Great idea..
I found this Cassette in my local Decathlon : 9 speed 11-32 (11-13-15-17-19-21-24-28-32) but they say its for MTB (360 grammes)
will it work?

Should i replace also the rear derailleur?
The whole point of NOT exceeding 28T was your current RDER should handle a 28T since it is only 1 T greater than the rated max. Shimano tends to be conservative.
I wouldn't expect them to be so conservative that you could exceed by 3T. You "might" get lucky, but I wouldn't count on it.

IF you go to a "mountain" RDER, than the largest cog issue becomes moot.

I was trying to give you the cheapest, simplest solution.
I'm done.
