46K/3yrs on E85 with only the typical symtoms. Tar like residue at the end of injectors, which would accure no matter what filter is used. Replace filter at the beginning of the year after 2-1/2 years use, and was in good shape. Yellowish but fully intact with no deterioration.

That definitely looks like a very good $85 filter.
I simply have not been hearing a lot of reports about actual issues resulting from NOT running a supplemental filter with E85. If I was hearing a lot of such reports, I would have a filter.
I'd say if you are the type of EVO owner that has head studs then a fuel filter would naturally be a good fit for your ownership style.

Ahhhh, fuel line? OK, just kidding.
Oddly enough everyone seems to think it should go in the return line. That would be the easiest place for it I suppose. It would seem to me the best place would be in the fuel suppply line as close to the pump as possible.
But don't listen to me, I don't even have a filter...

My suggestion is to always make only the minimal changes necessary for your car to run the way you want it to run. I assume you are referring to the cold cranking issue. Won't be a problem this time of year. Get it running on E85 and sort out any issues as/if they arise.
