I might suggest that a well-constructed steel conduit system is as good, if not better than a cable with an integral cpc.

It will be better from a perspective of safety - for any given value of R1, the relative R2 will be very small and thus you would have a very low touch voltage by default

Almost as good as wiring the installation in MICC
