I agree. Your taxi requirements over corrugated present some very unusual demands on the gear and the fuselage. I can see a tricycle geared airplane not only bobbing up and down due to the corrugations, but also see it rocking back and forth if the nosewheel is in a valley while the main gear is on a peak - the closer the nosewheel to the main gear, the greater the rock. A diagonal travel path across the corrugated may induce severe roll. Oh, well, same old rock and roll.

You are on the right track.
