Don't you run a brake anyway? Drilled doesn't make them any less nice.
my forks are drilled (although wont clear a caliper with 25c tyres)

I run a brake during the winter and because I ride my bike everyday don't want to fuck up knees etc...
Soon I'll have an SS MTB and a different beater too so I can alternate between those and have my current bike set up as HHSB/Tarck. -

30mm rake is nice and tight to keep the track geo.

Pedal overlap is overrated non-issue.
If you're riding fast and you get pedal overlap you're turning your bars too much.
If you're doing poser trackstands outside tesco and you stack it, then fair enough.*
I wear size 48EU shoes and get pedal overlap on my roadbike and trackbike, I can even get bloody heel strike on my rear derailleur if I try.
Worrying about pedal overlap isn't a reason not to ride a track bike and ride a slack conversion, especially when you have a selection of 1000's of nice frames to choose from at your size/height.
*has happened
