Man. We are on the same boat.
I own Thom Browne 0s which fit my torso perfectly but kills my neck when I try on a tie. However, I still enjoy wearing them without a tie. In fact, I prefer Thom Browne 0s with no tie 'cause the fit is so good. So the dilemma only exists when it comes to some occasions when wear a tie is deemed appropriate.
The shirts in the pictures do seem to fit great on your body, yet you are experiencing the same problem I have around the neck. I usually do "Pratt" for such cover-up because I prefer slimmer-looking knot ("4 in hand would just give it away a little bit too easily). Based on what I'm seeing, the problem you should (or may I say we should) worry about is not whether you can get away with it. Yes, you can pull it off if you try, but you should ask yourself how much comfort you're willing to sacrifice?
My solution is to buy two sizes. One is for casual un-buttoned look; and the other for the tie look. It will be a great investment in a common-color shirt that works with almost everything (let's say... a white oxford shirt). Since you've got to wear them all the time, you don't want to deal with the problem so often. Also the fit on the body becomes less relevant when you tuck in a shirt. It makes me a lot happier than having to squeeze my neck with all that BS.
