I'd probably go with mini Vs rather than drilling the stem if I were you.
If you can't have a fork mounted hanger then I would definitely go mini Vs.
If you're set on cantis then I'd drill the fork crown and use a fork mounted hanger.
Basically drilling the stem would be the last option I'd choose because of the judder.
(also that cable routing looks awfully contorted)
Colleague of mine that is a pretty serieus cross rider told me to not even consider v-brakes. Guess I'll just drill the fork.
Low profile mini-v plus compressionless housing will help greatly.
