Nope, not gonna happen. Every way that torchships outclass airplanes is a way they outclass dirigibles twice over.

I don't think you can make astrometel technology really rare. The 1938 of this world has Earth possessing 4 large space stations and all the major powers having armed moonbases. All of the planets out at least to Saturn and Ceres see major torchship traffic and significant economic activity.

There are multiple major spaceports on Earth too.

Petrinium also seems to have revolutionized electric power generation.
