I see your problem with using too thin of paper for heavy structured fins like what you show in your photos. I normally paper over flat structures or open flat fin builds Which is very different. Your teardrop or diamond shape finning is more like skinning an airplane wing. I have used epoxy or Spraymount with thin styrene plastic sheet (.020 - .030) for fins that require more dimensional stability.
I would agree that papering over dimensional fins like you show, thin card stock may not be the best...I would go with thicker Bristol board stock (very hard and tough card), 1/64” ply, or 0.30 plastic sheet would work better.
