I agree. And I maintain that the problem is exactly the same with the
common solution of a single-ended tuner feeding a balanced line through
a balun. If there is a big mismatch the choke will get hot.

The problem with choking a two-wire feedline is NOT one of balance -- if
it's a good choke, the choke takes "balance" out of the equation. What
matters is dissipation in the choke due to excessive voltage or current
that is present because the antenna is not matched to the line.
