Nice summaries of F holes with violins and then guitars.

I don't know for sure, but my money is on carbon fiber being a robust solution to this issue. CF has already proven itself in other guitar constructs such as multiple necks, multiple strings or any other situation where a wood version would be fragile or clunky if the design is even feasible.
