Now I'm wondering if the Fishman piezo bridge might be a worthwhile investment.

Maybe, although a floating DeArmond type mag will provide more feedback resistance in a noisy environment. And the single coil sound, while certainly not a spot-on recreation of the acoustic sound, can provide a good percussiveness to the attack, and is inherently less plummy than than the dual coil.
Here's a video from last night of my tremendously talented friend, Olli Soikkeli (who is more known for playing a Selmer-Maccaferri style guitar) playing an archtop with a floating mag pickup.
