If anything goes with "a voice as heavy as neutronium", it must be caps -- small or regular ones
Also, it seems Pratchett was quite involved in the process and I think he was successful enough to get to have his way. The TP Papers mentions stuff like this about his manuscripts:

And frankly, I think caps increase cost more than italics or bold, they take more space, what else could've been instead?
