Those PLCC to DIP adapters are pretty expensive! Also, I think you are right, most of these chips were intended as source drivers, but I imagine they will probably work for sinking at the low currents we need.
I'll probably build a VFD clock with spare parts at some point here, so having some of these supertex drivers around could be handy.
