 The PTO value MUST be set to at least kGranularity, to avoid the timer expiring
 immediately.

I don't remember any change like that. Every peer decides on its idle timeout. So even if a peer decides to have an infinite idle timeout (why would you do that to yourself?), once you reach a PTO duration on the order of what you might consider a typical idle timeout (let's say 30 seconds), exponential backoff should take care of your concern.
