aglet-
The light is something like 50g and the bracket will be about the same probably. I’m thinking it won’t swivel down if everything is nipped up nice and tight.
Failing that I would have a tab to wrap around the stay and prevent rotation. Things get complicated then. Is it going to mark the stay, etc.
Needs to be tested I guess.

After many cereal boxes I’ve got to a profile that I can cut in sheet stainless and bend to make a useful light bracket.
High enough to be above the mudguard.
Positioned so I can have the bike with or without the rear rack.
Low enough that my saddlebag won’t obscure it.
The part that the light mounts onto is perpendicular to the ground while the riser portion is at 73 degrees to the ground so it’s parallel to the seat-tube.
Mounting holes for 50mm top light, the one with the brake like function.
I’ve mulled over this for far too many minutes but this finally seems to tick all the boxes.
Am I missing anything?
