I briefly considered it, but then figured it would be more cost/effort
than it was worth.

Yikes, what bad luck!  About 20 years ago I experienced all NICs on a
network getting blown out, one by one, due to an electrical issue.  So I
know it can happen.  Still, I think 6a is the right trade-off in this
situation.
