That's a problem not only for F-tubas but for all brass instruments (getting the semitone above its pedal).
The general problem, the more valves involved, the sharper pitch.
Why not rewaken the old third valve configuration, that lowers two whole tones instead of today's 1½?
That gives you possiblity to add the second valve when getting the semitone above your pedal. It would be slightly too flat, but it's easy to lip it up.
I can see only advantages, it gives you also the opportunity to use more single valves than combinations.
