This is the key:

these alternatives don't quite deliver the same effect

If the alternatives don't create the effect you want in the reader, they're not good alternatives.

If killing the character creates the effect you want in the reader, kill the character.

Trust your instincts. You're a storyteller. You know what you are doing.
