I think even FH has to be expendable for a single launch. If you want to be reusable, just do two launches and EOR. Make the first launch be FH putting up a TLI stage, then send crew up on a regular F9, and dock with that. Docking is hardly risky technology at this point.
Sure, you would still be expending the two second stages, the TLI stage, and their three engines, but the big muscle boosters with their four cores and three dozen engines would be recovered.
