Out of all of the things we do to restrict spam,
the only one with a steady trickle of false positives is
the host lookup not passing reverse DNS check.

Same here. reject_unknown_client_hostname is too strict, but reject_unknown_reverse_client_hostname rejects lots of obvious spambots without resorting to an RBL lookup. The false-positive rate is close enough to zero that I would not consider removing this restriction.
