Unfortunately, the Maxson’s battlecoat can only be obtained by killing Elder Maxson, and blowing up the Prydwen with the Institute or the Railroad does not provide an alternative way to acquire it without killing him. To get the coat, you would have to kill Maxson and take it from his body, as it cannot be pickpocketed or stolen, even with a high level Pickpocket perk.
