You're even allowed to sell your game cheaper on other platforms (not Steam keys, separate keys for those platforms) so by all means charge the 30% more on Steam if you need to.

How many people would even bite, given the huge premium?

If you don't try,you will never know.
you are not allowed to sell cd keys cheaper than on steam
Do you have a source for that? I only know this [1] site laying out distribution of Steam keys

"You should use Steam Keys to sell your game on other stores in a similar way to how you sell your game on Steam. It is important that you don’t give Steam customers a worse deal than Steam Key purchasers."

This only applies to steam keys sold off site, which is why the original comment specified non-steam keys.
