Is 30. . . Nxa2 that awful?

Our position looks pretty shaky after 31.Qxb7.
We have several threats to deal with. Bd2, Qxb7, and if the bishop is unpinned by a move like 30...Qb5 he has 31.Bd4.
30...Nd5 31.Bd2 Qf5 32.Re8+ Kh7 33.Qe4 is possible, perhaps we are better placed than we would be after 30...Qd5 31.Qxd5 Nxd5 32.Bd4 but it's still the same structure and material.
30...Rc6 is interesting. 31.Bd2 Qd4 32.Bxc3 Rxc3 33.Qxb7 hxg3 34.Qb8+ (if 34.hxg3 Rxg3) Kh7 35.hxg3 Rc2 and we take on a2 next.
