Maybe it's the easiest, but for most parts, especially very large pieces, 100% isn't necessary, and sometimes isn't even feasible. Also, sometimes 100% leads to other problems.
Well it all depends on what you do. All I am saying is that 100% will solve your problem; which arguably means it is necessary. Most of my work is engineering where strength is important, even when prototyping if that incudes "form and fit"; so 90% of what I print uses 100%, which on the smaller parts is sometimes is faster to print that say 20%. And yes if I have a piece that is at least 75% of the bed space I will try to avoid 100%. Personally over 4+ years I have never had an issue with 100% infill so I am wondering what you have experienced.
Another solution is to consider "inserts for plastic" In fact I think @eldrick has been using these for a long time for his foil handles. These are metal threads that you insert into the plastic so you can screw in bolts securely. I managed to get a sample set for free from one of the manufacturers/distributors and they seem to work very well although I have not tried them in earnest in production yet; having said that although I cannot remember I suspect I used 100% infill when I tried them.

Would that not be accomplished by using the 'infill mesh option'?
