Do away with bioroids all you want but don't discard the bio/nano solution to space radiation. Specifically the Radiation Regeneration nano TS introduces at TL10 (although the Immunity to cancer is nothing to sneeze at).

Without these things just pulling off an 18 month Mars mission without anyone dying from radiation is a major exercise. That's assuming mature TL9 radiation drugs too.

Even with the other TL10 anti-radiation tech you'd see humans restircted to big space stations and still getting expensive anti-cancer/anti-radiation treatmets every 10 to 20 years. People who do have these big heavily shielded space stations tend not to have your "Mars Needs Women!" problems too.
