I must clarify the points on which you disagree, because I think that our disagreement is minimal :) .
1) 9...Be7 is a major variation. It is not objectively inaccurate. It has been played at the top level by Ponomariov and Eljanov. A brief look at the lines after 9...Be7 convinced me that it was much more complicated than the lines I had studied in 2000 on the basis of Kramnik's choice 9...Bd7. That's why I vote against it for amateurs. You seem to have a good experience with 9...Be7, on the other hand, so unless you're a professional, you are a living counter-argument :) .
2) Actually I make no claim that h6 is needed after 9.Rd1+ Ke8. It's the variation that I study for Black because it was Kramnik's choice and my claim is that 10.Nc3 h6 leads to playable positions for Black. There might be other ways, this one is sound and reasonably understandable.
3) I should have stressed that Black's bishop pair is not a telling factor in this variation as in the Exchange Spanish, for example. That's indeed a reason why 9...Be7 is playable.
4) 10...Nh4 is not my recommendation. Actually I know next to nothing in the 9...Be7 variation (except that it looks scary for non-professionals :) ) so I wouldn't make a suggestion there.
