   The one possible work-around is an Elecraft tuner that will not work
   unless hooked up to an Elecraft amp and a Kx via proprietary protocol
   so it knows whether it is QRO or not and can seamlessly drop out of
   QRO for tuning. Something like how the K2 and the KPA100 work.

That's what the TBD ACC2 connector could do, provide handshaking for
an external ATU so that it would be operated in low-stress
configurations.   That ATU doesn't have to come from Elecraft, though.
LDG has certainly made automatic tuners that work with Icom's
(more or less undocumented) tuner protocol, even making model numbers
sorta match i.e. AT-7000.
