I agree using the 3 wire system and bonding the neutral and ground is the most practical solution. But be aware, if that third ground/neutral wire should fail open, there will be a dangerous condition in the outbuilding. Everything that was ground, can become energized.

It just means you have to be careful when you make up those
connections but if you are careless, you shouldn't be doing your own
wiring anyway.
