I've been a ham since before the solar peak of cycle 20, more than 50 years ago. I used a K1 with its simple SA612 front end during the peak activity for cycle 23 and 24. The problem that you have conjured is non-existent for practical proposes. There is nothing but joy to be had with any QRP rig in times of good solar activity. (I also used K1SWL's DSW-20, -30, -40 and MFJ Cubs for 40, 20, and 15 meters...all rigs with very simple front ends. I experienced no problems either.
FWIW, cycle 21 (peak November 1979) was my favorite.
