I want iCloud tabs, but not iCloud bookmarks. Possible?

Title.

But in more detail, I have so many bookmarks it chokes my iPad when initiating searches or attempting to write in the address bar in Safari. I really like the iCloud tabs feature as well as Reading List, but I don't want any bookmarks to show up. Is there anything I can do?

If I have to delete all of my bookmarks in desktop Safari I will, but I'd like to back them up somewhere first.

I suppose it's impossible.
