FungusMudGrub is an unknown quantity at this point
I have never seen a mounting system that will be provide reliable long term holding power, yet not require adjustment every few years to avoid girdling the tree. I would lean towards really light-weight (no pun intended) fixtures and wide straps with some sort of buckle to periodically adjust them. Maybe the force of the growing tree would be enough to pull the straps gradually through the buckle, but that's probably too much to hope for.
