Mildew is rarely a wipe out thing for a second pea crop sown in early June. I have never been disappointed. Enviromesh will sort out any pea moth netted over a manageable second crop. Maybe divide one row in half as an experiment to check how your climate suits.
I seem to have problems with late beetroots, so sow just the two crops. March and May, early netting to avoid chomping. But they harvest over such a long time, it feels like succession cropping.

Ooh I can't be doing with netting more things - I have to net every possible veg as it is anyway because of the large range of wildlife we have here and the mega hungry birds  ???

The gardeners on our site would disagree with that. That's why no one bothers after about two attempts.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?
