Hi xpresso & welcome to the club!

I think that you are overdoing it.
If you have multiple PK metrics and all must pass (that’s the regulatory requirement) at level \(\small{\alpha}\) – in general 0.05 – you are protected against inflation of the type I error by the intersection-union principle.1 No need for simulations,2 simply calculate power for given T/R-ratio, CV, and the sample size. If any of the metrics shows power <50%, the study will fail (see this article).
