So maybe you could use dimples on fairings, fuselage or struts,

Could be. Somewhere or another I saw some wind tunnel data on golf balls
that nicely showed how the flow remained attached further around the back
side (no spin was involved - just a reduction in the wake). But you would
have to find out what the range of Reynolds number this works for...
