The sticker warning about the dangers of sailing a cat in surf and doing beach landings would have to go on all beachcats. NACRAs, Hobies, F18s, Tornados, Mysteres.. Anything built of fiberglass and resins.
As far as I know only the Hobie14 was made with toughts about that use, but I still think it would be a risky undertaking if not accepting the risk of breaking the mast, ruining the platform and injuring oneself.
Do you know of any cats designed and advocated as a surf cat? What manufacturer recommends beaching at full tilt with rocks possibly lurking beneath the surface? I dont know anybody who does.
Sounds like you are after a Hobie 14 if you want a cat, or go for a surfboard/windsurfer. There is a Hobie 14/16/trapseat board on this forum where you can get better answers than here on the F16 forum.
As I asked earlier in this thread, what are you really after? Tell us what conditions you sail/launch in, what kind of sailing you do and your skill/experience level and we can give much better advice. Going through all the "what ifs" is the wrong way to go about it.
