Any reason why a 1N4007 wouldn't be happy in there?

Well, yes. When functioning as a demodulator, the diodes take the
IF frequency (455KHz), and the BFO frequency (453.65/456.35KHz), and
make audio. When functioning as a modulator, the diodes take the
audio, and the BFO frequency, and make modulated IF.

A 1N4007 cannot switch at even audio rates, let alone at 455KHz.

You could always try a "vaccuum state" diode such as a 6AL5...
