I think if your cable has any metallic component you're supposed to
ground it. I don't think there's any distinction made as to whether
it's a toning wire, armor, or what have you.
I'd clamp the FRP strength members if there's a way provided to do it
though.

FWIW I think you have an issue with the fiber mounting.
The "Ground Lug" is supposed to hold the Fiberglass strength members
from the drop cable. This helps keep the cable from getting pistoned
in or pulling out.
The copper line on the drop cable is a tracer and should not be
connected to anything at either end.
At least that is how I was taught.
