One should definitely try it out mounting tyres so big you haven't got much space left.
It will ride like a tractor. Fun guaranteed! -
Can't see a bike in that picture.

Comfort.
HTFU and enjoy life without pedalstrikes. Or not.
My shoes are thinning down at where the pedals meet and had to put in some insoles so that it isn't that painful... Think I need new shoes now.
(boredom?)
Must be.

I will be using some bmx pedals
Why these clunky things? They're wide. And even cancel out your advantage with a short crank.
This is my CSB with BMX pedals: A friend built his conversion with 170 mm cranks + BMX pedals. A strike would happen at about leaning somewhere at 30°. If not less. At least I got him for going with shorter cranks, but I still don't get this craze using these fat platform pedals.
The BB drop on a Steamroller is closer to a road frame rather than a track frame. Or just mount bigger tyres. Helps a lot too.

It's a trap! Well that's how it looks like every time.

'smaller, flatter' pedals? Short cranks, awareness, etc.
I have managed some strikes. But it isn't really a problem as you are going to be doing some really tight leaning should that happen.
How about pointing your foot down (cages seam to be the safest option for this), and let the cage strike the ground first? Handy warning and it may produce some nice sparks. :-)

Surely the whole point of a beater is to not have to have loads of locks?
Funny enough, I lock my beater with the biggest and heaviest lock I have.
My better bike for all round long commuting has the lighter lock - 'cause I can't be arsed carrying that damn heavy thing all day.#I'mdoingitwrong

Doesn't apply, and no interest was shown.
Parts are being reused..
Just don't crash bikes. It hurts. You and your bike.

And here my own contribution. But can't tell where it could be, tbh:
