A brake booster, which is a horeshoe-shaped arch attached (along with the brake) to the brake bosses, would probably help some. It's designed to greatly reduce flexing of the seatstays during hard braking and in most cases where flex is a problem it results in noticeably better braking performance. Braking performance may not be one of your concerns, but a brake booster will certainly help reduce seatstay flex-
