There's obviously a reason why the underwriters consider K&T to be such a high risk.
Yes there is a reason....they have no idea what they are talking about. I highly doubt that they have any real proof of a problem. Un-touched K & T is very safe, the problems happen when the unqualified mess with it.
In some areas insurance companies are refusing homes that still use fuses.
