Hey Jay, not that this is a solution, but I was having the same
thoughts, so I tried reusable 'velcro' zip ties, and they just dont work.
They dont get tight enough to keep the basket stable, in my experience.

You could use heavy-duty twist ties. They make foam-wrapped ones

It might not be quick (might even be tedious), but small hose clamps

Cutting zip ties is fast, and hopefully you already recycle all your
plastic. Buy a 100 bag of zip ties and you're good for the year. It's
good to feel guilt about consumption of too much plastic, but I doubt your
annual zip tie use will even get into the top 100 of your household plastic

I have a wheelset built up on old Campy high-flange hubs: 24 spokes, 2X lacing.
I'm not light by any measure, but these wheels provided years of service (for
me ... I bought them used) before the flange on the rear hub decided to crack.
I am still amazed at how strong and true they were.
Don't forget Bungie Cords, try threading one or two across the basket and
down to the hub zone. Or a cord and a bungie net, sold in local bike shops
and online. Running them in opposing directions can tighten loose
connections, and still be easy to put on and take off.

+1 on small bungies. Make sure you get them tight and use a couple, wrapping
around rack in different spots.
Toestrap work too, but it's hard to get the required tightness so the basket
won't be wobbly.
