Based on the specification of 500 volts peak, 5KW at 50 ohms = 500
volts. It would seem the PL-259 is adequate for ham radio applications
per specification to 0.3 GHZ or 300 MHz without issues. Of course
one is dealing with 50 ohms, which implies essentially a 1:1 SWR.

Really? An Amphenol UHF connector only has a 500v rating.

1000v to me could be too low for a 500W amp. You can for the time being
leave the plug out, just disconnect when you are not using your equipment.
I use a remote disconnect to remove the antennas at my remote grounding
panel.
