I think your concerns are unfounded. If you support the keel at the transom and forward of the CG, as long as the deck is intact I don't think you need to worry about introducing a hook. The outer hull is very stiff, and the stringers and keel provide plenty of longitudinal stiffness. I removed most of that bulkhead below the deck and had no issues.
