I figured that it'd be enough to give up armor and shield proficiency, and possibly lower/eliminate turn undead, and that would off-set the bonus enough.

PS: I'm asking because I think A) some god's don't need heavily armored clerics in their fold and B) I've been considering a monk/cleric hybrid character.

Or you could simply dip a level into Monk?

1 or 2 levels of monk can help, and even if SF gives only the progression in the table, it is still a worthwhile choice.
