Simulation does not help, when the design does not fit in the FPGA

True, but your compilation tools _will_ tell you that.
It will tell you exactly how many of which type of resources are
required, and since you can target different platforms (heck, different
vendors if you were careful with your HDL) without even owning/having
the hardware.
