Is it going to be a weight weenie project?

One sturdy beast, however the rack is attached to the forks and not the frame so it isn't good enough for Champagne deliveries.
It can be, the best solution is to fit the biggest tyres you can possibly go and lower the pressure.
If it's an unusual wheel sizes, stick 26" with 50, maybe 60mm rubber (Schwalbe make great one).
Leave the sprocket alone, you may find it useful once you're fully laden.

Here is the before picture, I will just clean it up, recable it "a l'anglaise" and service what needs servicing.
