There's no technical reason you can't do full duplex with Mode K.

Got my vote for 15 up and 10 down. RS-12 was my second satellite (RS-10 was the first).
As noted, the entry to Ham radio is not via HF these days, but with no HEO sats, one can stretch the footprint pretty well with an HF bird, working it well below the horizon. That might attract more usage of the HF bands, and revitalize a lost mode of communication with some really bizarre propagation.
