Yes implementing an exact copy without using a hybrid would be difficult. However for 10MHz use, its probably not too difficult since that isolation amplifier is intended for a 100MHz signal and the requirement is for 10MHz operation. If the transistor ft's are reduced by a factor of 10 or so

Avoiding transformers and inductors will make it virtually impossible to achieve very low phase noise as the dc gain from say the base of any transistor in the chain to the output will degrade the flicker phase noise. Using transformers or using an inductor to shunt any collector resistors redu
