If you're buiding a frame like that with Chorus 10sp and drop bars, you're building a race bike, not a cycle truck. If you want a bike to move stuff, these parts are not exactly putting you in the right direction :).
Lovely groupset though, I love the shifters and cranks. Looking forward to the result
Flandria-
I've enjoyed having the Wald basket on this bike - with Athena 8sp and drop bars - for the last 6 months but yes, Chorus 10sp takes me into more racey territory. I'll just use a backpack/messenger bag and see how I go. Then later I can find/build a second bike for carrying things if I want to go the cycle truck route.

I must also accept that this new build might be a bit too racey for the Wald basket. How does everyone on fancy bikes carry their stuff??
Am I right in thinking that a front rack (even a slender type) would look too clunky on this build?
