If you own one i suggest that you get it removed.
Reason being that if the front blocks moves it will cause the front suspension clip to be loose and will likely cause an accident.
With regards to the rear rack. Any reason why an easy wheel which is lighter cant be use ?
I have two Birdy with a Brompton front block.
A titanium Birdy on which the bloc is directly attached on the head tube with two bolts with two hole drilled into the very thick and strong head tube. The block sits on the head tube bottom reinforcement for the semi-integrated headset. It cannot move down.
A Birdy III with the H&H Brompton front block adapter. The adapter is strong enough to avoid any risk that the block moves down.
You can use any Brompton easy wheel with a M6 bolt on the Birdy. The only thing you must care is to check that you can still attach rear pannier far enough rear to avoid to touch the pannier with the heel of your foot.
