It is a good point that not all brake calipers are the same. The modern Shimano dual pivot calipers are symmetrical, so a single side won't droop, but I'm not convinced clearance would be any better.

Vintage center pivot side-pull brakes are also symmetrical, and shouldn't have the issue. And, are often a bit more slender in design.

It might take some sleuth work to find the best brake combination for that fork.
