I having been watching the sailing community move to round thimbles for some applications.



Found these thimbles for sale on Allspars out of the UK. Photos from their website for reference.

As you know being a climber, when you take a whipper your generating crazy forces. I completely understand your concern, but unless you plan on using you hammock as a trampoline id say you should be safe. No fall factor 2 😎
For what its worth i use a half rope to suspend my hammock while camping and cordage for prusiks to adjust. No problems at 180lb.
