The available research makes it clear that there is essentially no energy lost to frame flex during a complete pedal rotation under power.

To the point of this thread; a fitting similar to a rear rack could be designed to provide increased stiffness to the rear triangle as well as the top tube and downtubes but would most likely need additional brazeons added to the frame.
