Maybe Rover calipers have changed then my SJ has Rover 600s on the rear and been on there over 12 years never had a problem although are are only used on the fiddles.
understand what you are saying about handbrake Mechanisms but if you have it on the caliper does allow you make fiddle brakes as well and you geta poor mans locking diff thrown in for good measure

I use rover 200/25 rear caliperas in mine and have no problem with them sticking but it is a sh*t kit the back plate could be made alot better

Thing is its a mechanism on the handbrake and yes it does need maintaining but then it cant be anything compared to the rebuilding leaking cylinders and the worn out brakes shoes that jimnys suffer from and Tbh you cant exspect someone to convert to rear disc and ohhhhhhhhhh by the way you now need a X brake
Is a shame and i think Mark will confirm this that you cant have a hydraulic handbrake that would be the answer with the right set up you would get fiddles as well
