So is there any way of avoiding the Q-plate apart from the old dodge of putting the donor engine in, doing SVA & reg, then changing the engine? Would I even want to avoid a Q-plate? What are other folks doing about this?

I believe that there may still be sufficient points to get an age-related plate, even if you don't use the engine, you've still got lots to use from the donor - but tbh the Q-Plate thing doesn't bother me with this one - I've never got enough cash for a private plate anyway!!
