you are right that toe would change with suspension travel, so this would not work for a truck with a lot of normal travel - like a flexible 4x4, but for a lowered straight axle AD driven on street with maybe 2-3 inches of travel it might be fine.

Nope, It has already been proven times over that a solid mounted rack with a straight axle doesn't work right. Even the least deflection is going to change toe in. A lot of guys screwed their cars up back 30/40 years ago trying it.
