Yeah, I've interacted with a lot of people that didn't appreciate the problems of ridiculously high (2+ GHz) instaneous bandwidth. It sounds great and is easy to sell, but the fact that a single high power signal can wreck everything else is pretty problematic. At that point your options are: 1. Let the high power signal drive the receiver rail to rail, and which point your signals of interest are lost, 2. Set gain to avoid the highest power signal causing clipping, at which point your signals of interest are again lost, this time below the noise floor, or 3. Like you say, add a bunch of filters for the high power undesirable signals, at which point massive bandwidth starts to look less appealing.
