Heading out to the Oort to avoid orbital congestion is a little extreme. There might only be enough room for approx. 3 ships to leave geosynch for hyperspace at one time but even busy airports rarely have more than 3 airplanes taking off at exactly the same time.

Beyond Earth orbit, 20K km is very much a flyspeck.

In short, I don't really think you have a problem.
