Why would a micron thin layer evaporate if it's plated on a heat conducting metal ?? 100W/cm2 is not that much really, it's roughly what the tip of my soldering iron dissipates happily, even though it's in air rather than in water.
An example of a thin Pd layer that works? I coudn't even give you an example of a thick one that works with certainty!
