Problem is I don't have a Surly fork (don't have the rack yet either, but it looks like the best thing for my needs other than this) and hence no crown eyelets. I'd have to bodge a strut to threaded strut and bolt it through the crown brake hole. I suppose a better option might be some kind of two-to-one adapter, but it's another part to fail.

Ah. Yes. Apologies. Failed to engage brain before keyboard.
I would still run with both TBH. Those set screw based clamp things are really sensitive to clamping pressure; they have two settings, locked down completely and "oh look, they fell apart and are on the floor again." That was my experience at installation. A bit of redundancy on that connection would be prudent.
