What
single point of failure would disable both of my comm radios but not affect
my nav radios?

I don't know. But unless you are the only person in the air, procedures
must be designed to take into account the failure modes of other
aircraft, which could easily include loss of com without loss of nav.
And if you =are= the only person in the air, ATC is not necessary.
