I've long had discomfort when my knees have to stay bent for long periods
without lots of moving around.

Yep, rudder pedals did make my knees ache on long flights.  I spent a fair
amount of time with my legs out straight, braced against the firewall above
the pedals.

If I get a chance to buy another Coupe, I'll put preference into no pedals
for the comfort factor.  It certainly doesn't make any difference to the
crosswind takeoff and landing ability.
