Hello, Following the assurances I got here, thanks for the responses, I have bought and installed the QL USB Keyboard kit from Tynemouth software. Prompt delivery and simple to install - connect the QL keyboard membrane and the leads for the power LED, and stick the USB board inside the QL shell. It works perfectly.
Thanks to Marcos Cruz for the bogomips comparisons from the Spanish QL forum suggesting that the RPi2 with SMSQmulator and some mild overclocking is comparable with a SuperGoldCard QL at least in terms of bogomips.

He has the boards professionally made and hand-solders the components, the original keymappings were also hand-coded so there shouldn't be any problems.
