It needn't rule out K2; you just have to use VDK for indexing and K2 for
searching. You can have VDK index the collection, then use K2 to search it.
A collection is essentially just a directory, so you could have one
collection name you use for VDK indexing and another for K2 searching.
Actually, you typically have two collections in K2 for each VDK collection,
since K2 collections map to the file and custom subdirectories of the
collection directory.

The issue in a clustered environment, though, is that you'd need to have the
directory accessible by whichever server is going to run CFINDEX. It's not
an insurmountable issue, though.

It's not as bad as it sounds. The CommonSpot product, for example, does this
very nicely.
