Not answering for david ,of course. Just my take:Is there any ground fault detection schema which would mitigate the need for a larger EGC?
No really. The GF doesn't limit the fault current. Most are set up failrly long time to ride threough any transients.
IEEE 242 also has a pretty good discussion on the subject. Current limiting fuses are considered a mittigation.
As noted earlier, one must get the OCP trip inside of the cable damage curve - bigger wire or faster trip are about it.
