Thanks to all for your advice.

Yep
You won't get one...and if you do then it won't last long.

A 3/4" radius bit on the business end of a 1/4" shaft is a lot of tin to
spin. A 1/2" shaft is definitely a good idea. It will not flex as much as
the skinny shaft under the stress of chewing off big bites of wood.
A plus is most 1/2" collet routers also include a 1/4" insert so all the old
bits can still be used and you get the option of needing a whole new set of
bits. Just can't get enough of them. :)

I've heard of people buying the wrong bit because they were not thinking
right when they wanted to put a roundover on a 3/4" thick board. Not me, of
course, I've just heard stories about it.
This is your logical place to check such things:

Your answer is NO for these folks who produce more than
anybody else....

might use the tool.

5/8 radius is as big as I can find ( CMT-838.445.11 )
Even that is a bit big for such a small shaft.

I may as well ask for suggestions.

The bit would be at least 1-3/4" wide. IMHO that is too big for a 1/2"
shank bit.

Oups, that should be too big for a 1/4" shaft.

3/4" radius on the front of a loudspeaker cabinet.

Yup, if you're milling a piece of 3/4" quarter round molding, then the
3/4 bit is what you need. Never seen one that big on a 1/4 shank though.
