The image accelerator unit is an integral part of the image processing pipeline. Partially disabling a processing stage might not be trivial, nor desired.
Simply put, if you could somehow "disable the K-1 II's accelerator NR" you will not get a K-1.
Oh, and the diffraction, lateral CA, distortion correction and the two existing NR modes are somehow super duper different? I don't buy it, sorry. "Can't be done" is a loser's statement. To be an argument, it would have to have a reason, but that is so far lacking in the entire discussion about the Accelerator Unit. People just assume that, "oh it can't be bypassed" without any rational basis for that belief. It's a belief, nothing more.
There is nothing in electronics that can't be bypassed. A bypass can
always be engineered. Prove me wrong.

I am familiar with the work {on another site} of a guy who uses "exposure to the right" -
he is so familiar with the output of his camera that he takes what seem to be badly "over exposed" images, then massages the resulting 'raw' files.
You could do the same such thing if you wanted to do all your work with 'raw' files - and I don't see any reason to limit the amount of exposure adjustment, no reason to limit to "ISO3200".
Unless something has recently changed, that is actually the maximum you can underexpose with metering - five stops. ISO 100 underexposed five stops gives you the equivalent of ISO 3200.
