Peter,
I've had this concern myself and have even made processor choices based
on my fear of the hand prototyping of BGA parts.
Would you please give us a synopsis of your experience and tips hand
assembling BGA parts, including tools, temperatures, etc. ?

Impossible? How?
Open any GSM phone and look at the components....
There is NO WAY a hobbyist (not even Tony ( sorry chap !)) will be able to
handle 200-300 pin BGA packages, with 0.8 or even 0.5mm pitch. gun...
BGAs are easier than fine pitch QFP to solder (though difficult to salvage if
done wrong...)
