My opinion - the above ground filter system is a must have.

Water pressure causes the internal body sleeve (what the spray head is connected to) to raise up. At the same time water pressure is spraying out of the head holes as it pops up. If dirt is present the water force will blow it out.

I don’t view that scenario as a problem.
I respectfully disagree with the "self clean" concept. The water passage in an MP rotator is very small. Debris shown in your picture will never pass through the rotator head, nor would they get past the head filter. Over a very short time with this current scum water, your system will plug up and water will be severely restricted.
Look at other houses and note how bad their heads are flowing. No MP is self cleaning..
