Since the client requires slicers to drive the dashboard, enabling bi-directional filtering on the bridge relationship is the most practical way to achieve this, even though it isn’t ideal for performance or model simplicity. A good compromise is to apply it selectively only on the specific relationships needed for the slicers rather than across the entire model. This way you get the required functionality while minimizing potential risks with ambiguity or slowdowns.
