Social DRM concerns me because if someone uploads an "To: Ana Mardoll" book to a torrent, I can't prove it wasn't me.

That's only a concern if the media companies are still doing the silly prosecutions, and even then I don't think a book of yours appearing in a torrent could actually have any legal consequences. The only people who've been convicted were sharing the music files directly from their home computer.
However, I do understand that not everyone would like it. If the companies were really clever they'd make it optional. "Check this box only if you don't want your personalised bookplate with author's signature included."
I have a splendid ebook by one of the authors here -
"We Don't Plummet Out of the Sky Anymore" by M. David Blake. There's a personalised and numbered bookplate at the front. I love it.
