Rivendell themselves put clear plastic protection on the drive side chainstay of their frames - both the Rivendell frames I have came with the protection already installed - so I don't see that you can say it's not very Riv-ish.
For protecting the toptubes of the bikes, which have the bare brake cable inner running along at about ten o'clock on the tube, I went to a motorbike shop and bought a roll of 3M plastic tape intended for paint protection. It's been installed for a good 20 years, hasn't peeled or yellowed, and most people don't notice that it's there at all.
