It's not as bad as you'd think. I got it on my first attempt after playing through the game normally a bunch of times. Knowing where things are and what fights you can take in which order keeps things manageable.
And dream fights also do not kill you. So some of the toughest fights in the game will not end a steel soul run.
Plus 100% in Hollow Knight isn't everything. There's a total of something like 113%, so you don't need to do some challenges you know you might die to.
