Going on HA would be fine. (JAL would be even better, but as you said, it may not be allowed; I'll call AA.)

I did a May dummy booking - and selected "non-stop flights only" and "HA only". It quoted me 32,500 in coach for SEA-HND, with a several-days stopover in Honolulu.
Thank you both for your help.
