You can trivially script the CREATE/DROP DB outside with --use-existing. Which seems a lot more flexible than adding more and more options to pg_regress.
Using template is natural and very simply solution - more it doesn't need any outer scripts - so infrastructure for test can be pretty simply in this case.
