Back Bevel vs Steeper Frog

I guess the title says a lot... Looking for commentary from people who have some experience with back-bevelling traditional bench planes.

I am about to embark on a big furniture project with some moderately to highly figured timber and I would like to avoid a tearout nightmare.

So can I achieve the same tearout reduction by using a back bevel which can later be ground off as I can with a "York" pitched or otherwise higher angled frog? I've had some good results with grinding steeper angles on my bevel up jack plane, but that's only one plane, and I will definitely need to use the jointer and the smoother a lot on this project.

Thanks a lot in advance,
Luke
