Why are you scared of balance chargers? They are used extensively and without issue in the RC hobby.
The typical balance connector has a common ground and separate leads to each of the positive taps on each of the cells lipo pack. The charger does the math and tweaks the charge current so each cell is very close to the same value. (A very few pack makers have a common lead for positive and separate balance leads for each cells negative post, but these balance leads will not connect to balance chargers designed for balance leads with a common negative lead.)
I own about 60-70 lipo packs for RC model aircraft ranging from 1s 60mAh to 6s 5000mAH. Never any issues balance charging with various brands of balance chargers.
As long as you have decent packs, it is not necessary to balance charge every time you charge a Lipo pack. I check new packs for balance and as long as they are within .01 or .02 volts, I typically charge normally and not through the balance connector. More often than balance charging, I stick a lipo monitor on the balance lead during charging to spot check each cell voltage.
One of my 6s5000 packs has 40-50 cycles on it and has been balance charged about twice.
