Why not grab a sheet of ripstop to use as (emergency) tarp, with a couple small guy lines?
I did think about this but ran out of time. I was just going to take a tent with my old rack borrowed back and then the forecast was fine and we decided against it.
End result is I think a 2P bikepacking tent is the best option for 'us' and the bivvys will be for me for race use.

No massive increase in weight or bulk, it pleases the tarp lief crew, and at least it will be cover when the bivvy feels like it wasn’t enough. Less convenient than a full tent setup, but less than 10% the weight or size penalty.
