Keep in mind that hop oils are quite quickly washed out in hot/boiling wort. You won't need anything as big as a BIAB bag, which could reduce steam off-put by totally covering the surface of the boiling wort. Just use a hops sock and if it's looking a bit over full drop the next one in a fresh one. They can be lifted over the side and locked down by the lid when you get to chilling stage and transfer, allowing the bags to drain freely, reducing wort loss. Etc.
