If Schottky diodes are potentially causing a front end overload, then the AGC circuit isn't doing its job, either from poor design, or it hasn't been modified to act faster when detecting and receiving strong signals.

Typically, Schottky diodes don't change the dynamic enough to warrant a modification of the AGC circuit in most cases. So if there's a front end overload condition, I suspect a poorly designed AGC circuit or a lack of thereof.
