If we start moving pretty fast, say at v/c = 1 - 1e-50,
we would notice that the background radiation would become
not only more blue, but brighter as well (in front of us).
(We would encounter more and higher frequency photons in front
of us).

This is all true, even though we are "at rest" in our own
frame...
We would get burnt by the background radiation. If we could
withstand the heat, we would be slowed down by the pressure...

Not if you remove the radiation field A photon carries momentum which is
conveyed to the target when absorbed. In your example, the nett effect is
to slow down the moving object.
