They were definitely an option on most Bob Jackson frames right up until they had to close shop due to the pandemic a couple of weeks ago, without anything to state otherwise.
Guess maybe I should have drilled down more. This seemed like one of those things where the expertise is steering you so I didn't want to muck up the process anymore.

We were struggling a bit already with the crowns, big tire clearance and short reach brakes so I figured I better pick my battles.

I would be hesitant to do any frame without face to face interaction with the builder, I realize it is probably moot with an off the peg build, but still.
