So play one of the 8 other iconics that's not natively paladin? That's literally the only restriction.
Razorclaw Shifter (barb) and Tiefling Scourge (bard) would not work because of alignment restrictions.
Deep Gnome and Shadar Kai have -2 Charisma, so those are no-gos. Realistically, you are looking at only 4 iconics that could work with SF.
PDK would just... i don't know why you would do this. Save the PDK lives for KOTC or Warchanter instead, so you can actually make good use of the Cha to hit/damage instead of wasting it like a jackoff
Aasimar Scource has decent synergy if TWF. Otherwise, the 1 ranger level would be very awkward.
Sun Elf Sacred Fist could actually work out, since it forces you into 1 level of cleric for Divine Might anyway. -2 Con is unfortunate, but it's not the worst possible iconic for SF out there. The REAL unfortunate thing is you can't pick Silvanus for a funny cha-based Maul build.
Tabaxi Trailblazer could perhaps be the best one, particularly if you wanna do Quarterstaff. I mean shit, you get free Spring Attack (AKA abundant step), Great Cleave, a shitload of movespeed, dodge, and sneak attack. Unironically it's a better tree than Sacred Fist. And it's not even close. Tabaxi Trailblazer SF could do something like 14 Pal/5 Monk/1 Cleric, 4 AP in Warpriest for trance, 18 or so in Traiblazer, split the rest between Sacred Defender and Henshin Mystic.
