Would it be stupid to suggest you do most of your first batch with nitrates and a just a wee bit with only salt them send off both to the lab to see how they compare? (Just had a paper published; I miss my lab days! Lol!)

I have made RC salamis with just salt and acidophis and they were REALLY good, kept well too. For bacon the nitrates give a better colour and i now use them for salami to be a bit more confident in keeping them but if it was purely for my own home use would be happy without them

Having had cancer, bacon was one of the foods i was told not to eat. We now raise our own pork and do bacon with salt Once sliced and packed we freeze it.
