Is there any perceivable difference mounting a rack on a mid-fork eyelet rather than one at the dropout, or the other way round, beyond aesthetics and maybe a small weight difference?
Nope, as it'll still be tied to the crown by the third mount & bolt, to stop it rotating forwards, or handlebars if it's a traditional Wald etc.
This is only talking about flat racks/basket on top though, I don't know about any differences with front panniers.
