The medical field doesn't use BMI for children (under 18) and understands what population it's not useful for. It's popular to bash on BMI, but for population level studies it's still a reasonably useful metric.

This can be mitigated with proper cleaning.

Why? if someone says "BMI is useless and doesn't apply to me" shouldn't they be happy the doctor is going to use another metric instead of just sticking to BMI?
That's what a good doctor should do, find another metric that the patient can relate to.
