I've not mounted a tail light on plastic, but Rick Risemberg has for many,
many miles of rough LA streets with no problems, as he latterly announced.
But he uses a fender with metal/plastic sandwich construction, not mere
plastic.
As for wiring: I have a dyno rear light on the Motobecane and simply
 mounted it more or less on the sides of the tubes, running along the down
tube *over* the bb and along the chainstay. For my next rear light wiring
project, I may try thin wires inside some sort of tubing, say the SW's
ubiquitous swamp cooler tubing -- even comes in copper beside the usual
plastic!

Note that SKS fenders, *I think*, are designed to conduct the electricity to
the rear light sans wires.

No front racks for me; I use the brake pivot bolt or (on the disk-equipped
Fargo) bolt it to the crown -- the Fargo has a nice threaded attachment
point at the crown's forward face.
