That's kinda what I was thinking; use the brains from a 9920 or something and create an outboard "power board" where all the high current (and heat) is. Keep the surface mount where it should be: low power, noise sensitive devices - and keep the through-hole devices where they should be: high power applications. It's not we're starved for room on a 1/8th-1/10th scale R/C...

About using a schottkey diode: Some ESCs specifically mention to NOT use them or it voids the warranty. I guess this is for people who don't know how to properly select the right device, or how to hook them up.
