With how you are using the Juniper I would not use a shim. That will give you one more thing that could go wrong. Looking at your binder pinch I would go the next size up.
Did you have to adjust the rear hub for clearance of the derailer hanger?
Very few concessions were made to weight, and I'm probably running a bit more sealant than I need to. I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to bring in quite a bit lighter, but I don't think the frame is worth putting all that much into.
I did have to spread the rear triangle to fit a modern hub. I've got a standard derailer hanger for a slot dropout, and a second one on the non drive side so that the axle is straight when it's at the back of the slot on both sides.
