I'd use the eyelets for the rack mounting, and then a set of P-clips for the fender mounts.

The JTS is designed as a jack-of-all-trades, and one of those trades is CX racing. It's rare you'll see anyone racing with fenders or a rack. It does many things "OK" but none of them perfectly. The new model is a bit more geared toward racing than the 2010 model, but overall it has never been strictly a commuter bike.
I've got a 2011 RL Conquest Pro which is a similar bike; Alu/CF, and it too has only a single eyeletted rear.
