After the first microsecond the transmitter is operating into a
steady-state load impedance. The only *useful* question then is: "Given
that particular value of load impedance, how much power can my
transmitter generate?" But that isn't an antenna/transmission-line
problem at all - the answer lies in the transmitter, and *only* the
transmitter.

Using 200 ft. of unterminated RG-58 on 440 MHz, the transmitter
sees close to 50 ohms and can deliver its full rated power into
the coax with no antenna. Therefore, I seriously doubt that your
question above is the "only *useful* question".
