I think Ding! Max! could become an issue if you remove the illusions, given how it's hard to get bonus XP otherwise.
My line of thought for getting the badges in one run was to rely on abilities that are not prohibited by badges, like Sanguine (Bloodmage), Learning (Fighter), First Strike (Rogue/Assassin), Magic Resistance (Monk/Berserker), or stuff on the floor like the rightfully mentioned Orb of Lusory. Tinker also allows a way to snatch a single item, as well as to access the secret sub, however I don't think that alone is sufficient to beat a VT dungeon Purist (let alone do so without worship, glyphs, conversions, etc.).
"Thinker", just without the "ache".
