This year on Maxifort, my two Goose Creek plants are loaded top to bottom with tomatoes of all sizes from 1/4" to 6" across. I will be floored if I can manage to ripen without BER all those green tomatoes.

Have you considered cluster and leaf pruning? I like to control both the number of fruits per truss and the number of leaves to balance the plant better. Off topic for here, but worth discussing elsewhere.
I will have to look closely at my grafted plants and compare the incidence of BER. I haven't noticed any difference casually.
