> I initially tried using an HD wallet, but the mechanism for interacting with it was more inconvenient than generating keys manually - especially considering that you might have to generate hundreds of addresses in a row that never receive a payment.

Not sure I follow. The only difference between generating a HD-derived address and a traditional address should be that the former can be re-generated based on the master key alone. Not sure what difference not receiving payment at hundreds of addresses would make between the two.

I agree. Using an HD wallet would work fine. I found the tooling less convenient so I didn't use an HD wallet.
