The same phenomena is not inherent in the rear so a cantilever brake is just fine there and generally works well.
I have not had that problem on a touring bike where the fork was pretty stiff.
And on one of my bikes I used a fork crown mounted hanger that completely negates that long distance from the hanger to the straddle cable yoke as shown in the photo. Sorry the photo is a bit busy with the wiring for the dyno powered headlamp, taillamp and USB charger, plus wiring for a wired computer. But the hanger is there, you will figure it out.
