Once the K-1 visa expires, technically I'd have to leave the country. Is simply submitting the AOS really enough to stay legally?

It's a misconception that the expiration date on the visa is the date you must leave the country. The expiration date is the last date on which you can use the visa to enter the country. It has nothing to do with when you would have to leave. The date on the I-94 (white card in your passport) is the date you have to leave by, unless of course you have a pending AOS.

As said above, the NOA-1 extends your status and allows you to stay past the date on the white card.

You get your very own kinda "limbo" status whilst you're waiting for AOS, I think the guy at our local office called it something like "pending adjustee", and advised me not to leave the country in the meantime as I had not filed for advanced parole.

Just sit tight, enjoy married life and dream of that greencard being processed! :P

Yes I did word that incorrectly. By "visa" i meant the document which allowed me stay in the country :)
