In my experience, it is usually explained that kefiyah can produce a
valid get because the kefiyah is halachically legitimate (mandatory and
thus permitted), Then the "rotzeh ani" is really a haaramah, one that
bothers me because (1) we don't allow haaramos in dinim deOraisa, and
(2) it smells so inquisitional.

I am suggesting that get anusah is only a problem when it's a pure
oneis, with no ratzon at all backing it. That a ratzon overshadowed
by another ratzon is sufficient for a get to be valid -- if the
ratzon's existence could be brought to light (thus "ad sheyomar").

Tir'u baTov!
