I had this thought a while ago in regards to Superheavy. Obviously we've never seen 30+ Raptor engines fired in synch before and I worry that just like N1 there will be serious issues with reliability using that many. The obvious solution would be to design a much larger LOX/CH4 engine something along the lines of a very much upscaled Merlin engine. Relatively simple plumbing and engineering, highly reliable and throttleable, easy to mass produce.
