Now from every other crack I've seen posted here, it looks like a perfect candidate for the JB Weld approach. Not being a pressurized system, and it looks to be away from being a fatal crack. What say there barners? What would you do?

It is far from a fatal crack but one that will keep growing if not repaired properly. It's common for Model A' engines to crack in that spot.
I would also recommend pressure testing as there is a casting wire right above your crack that will also leak water as well. If you look close you see a small circle. This will leak also. To fix it permenantly, take it to Lock n stitch or someone who can do metal stitching properly.
I have provided examples of the before and after of the same crack in same location.
