I don’t think the AM transmit bandwidth relies on the filter to set its limits. Even with the 13KHz filter, bandwidth is limited by the DSP. The option to use the 13KHz filter was, as I recall, a change made by Elecraft quite some time ago. While there are many opinions, there is no bandwidth specified by 97.101(a), and at its worse, it’s tighter than most of the vintage and other modern AM gear in use legally on the amateur bands.
