I considered unearthing it and perhaps even fastening it down somehow,

about it is that it pretty much ensures a smooth curve if you make some
passes across the full length.

Oddly enough, and on longer two point arc curves, like you would find on
the bottom aprons of wide/deep casework, you don't even need a curved
sanding block.

You can actually use a small rectangular sanding block, or a quarter
sheet sander, and with a little bit of practiced carefularity, fair a
curve nicely.

I often do this with my Festool DTS 400, with the pattern I'm working on
in a vice.

Often times just getting as close as you can fairing, without being too
anal, and depending upon the diameter of your router bearing, small
irregularities in your pattern won't necessarily show up in the pieces
being routed.

That said, I generally take my patterned curves to the OSS for that
final touch up.
