The bracket suggestion is instead of superscripting, and it's also common in plain-text contexts. In any case, adding brackets should not change at all the line spacing, if the brackets have the same size/position/etc. as the number. From the point of view of the line spacing, it doesn't matter which characters you have, they're just boxes with something drawn inside (or sometimes outside). What could happen is that a bracket clashes with the line above/below where another character wouldn't, but this shouldn't be the case in normal circumstances.
