Pairing deadlifts with other back exercises would make sense, but I like bent-over rows and it seems like that combination would also be too taxing on the lower back.
Suggestions?

I do deads (heavy), followed by front squats, followed by backoff sets of deadlifts, then good mornings.
Just build up your endurance for the lift and lower back over time. I also use a belt for the deads/squats.
I would never pair deadlifts with any upper body exercises but that's just me.
