I think the answer you're looking for here is "magpul MBUS".
Cheap and light, you'll never notice them on the gun, but still robust enough in case it's all you got. Plus spring-loaded, so goodbye rapid deployment issues.
That being said, I would consider an MRO a 'high reliability' optic. People still running Eotechs, despite the known issues...
I would not consider, especially for your stated use, irons to be a "need it now" item, more an "add on in near future" item.
Of course, if you want to get real for a second, for a dedicated house gun, I'd have skipped the expensive MRO, got a Primary Arms RDS in your favorite flavor, dropped a set of backup MBUS irons on there just in case the optic China's out on you, and put the rest of the money into something more useful like ammo/mags/etc.
You'd have both options, that selection is still robust enough to do most field-use tasks if your end use changes down the road, and we wouldn't have five more pages of people trying to decide whether a high-end modern optic can stand alone.
There, I said it...
