Has anyone figured out an easy way to get around the rail being too high to use the iron sights if you need to remove the optic?

No, and that's always been a problem for me, in particular during a rabbit hunt many years ago. The scope was obviously not sighted in, so I took it off with the quick release nuts I'd installed. I still could not hit a thing. If someone would make a taller rear sight and matching front sight, that would do the trick.

Try these:

GI-style front and rear sights (with longer sight radius) with a rail for mounting optics all in one.
