There are several of us, convinced by the math, that "no part" isn't going to work for RCS.
(and on my part, similar experience of spaceplanes re-entering atmospheres in KSP, and yes, I realize their atmospheric physics are wonky, but same principle that the X15 and other early hypersonic test flights showed - there's a set of altitudes / velocities where aero controls aren't enough for stability and a decent amount of RCS is needed)
