Am I smoking crack? Or is this pretty reasonable? Or should I just knuckle down and set up Spamassassin or some other anti-spam tool (I'm totally open to suggestions, I just have experience with SA from a past life)
No, you are not. First of all, Spamassasin (and other antispam solutions, as well as paid services) have similar TLD blacklists or slam scoring metrics. Also, given that you are willing to manually whitelist legitimate senders, you should be fine to go.

There is a complex mechanism for this in SpamAssassin which (using the default rules & scores) is NOT an outright ban on any TLD in any particular role in a message but which has a significant positive (spam) score. It is possible for any site using SA to remove any of the affected TLDs from the list or to specifically add domains or addresses to a local welcomelist. We act on bug reports that a listed TLD merits removal by testing to confirm substantial non-spam hitting our contributor mailstreams. I don't believe we list any country code TLDs on principle.
