You don't need to high-post it. If your dropper is \[almost\] fully hilted with no room for the clamp (assuming it is if you're thinking about going fixed post), just raise it up a bit: the clamp is only like 10-15mm tall. Sure, your max saddle height will now be a bit too high for comfort, but you don't have to extend the dropper all the way! I use this technique for my wife to carry a kid on my hardtail*: the dropper is too tall even if it was slammed, but she just starts low and lets it come up only high enough for a good pedaling position.
*(Actually that bike has a non-Pro KRS pretty much always on it, so the room for the clamp doesn't apply, but same thing applies to the saddle height)
Oh, I just noticed you also have a non-Pro... Why would you need to high-post in exchange for the passenger?
