I think this is far simpler: don't support grossly broken implementations or the surface area for the protocol will be infinite.
I would much rather use a client that either ignores bad events or even better displays them with a nice warning saying "person X published a horrible event, click here to tell them to complain about their broken client" -- Ideally it would check if there's a `client` tag with a NIP-89 and p-tag the author of the client.
