I have to disagree with two of your assertions: If you go too hard on the reed strength, it will be hard to play the lower notes and throat notes especially and they will sound fuzzy and airy. So you will possibly fix one problem at the expense of another.

eb music goes above altissimo D ALL THE TIME. I played perhaps 15 pieces last year that needed eb, and all of them went above D. This upcoming concert alone I have 6 pieces for eb, and all of them go above D, a lot. I would say that most band pieces don't go above F#, but I have seen maybe 5 Gs, a couple G#s and 2 A's so far (in 1.5 years of eb in a good local concert band). When I see G# and A, they are usually also written as optional lower parts too but not for F# and down.
