With a brick-high straight flush, I would think you would want your straight, flush, AND pair cards to be live.

Here's why I think they are playable: without low possibilities, a straight draw alone or a flush draw alone is not playable, because one is drawing to half a pot. However, a straight-flush draw has effectively twice as many ways to make a high hand -- both the straight draw AND the flush draw -- as a draw without other possibilities of improvement, and so it becomes as playable as a pure straight or pure flush draw in high-only stud.

I should say that I don't have a good sense of how to play these hands -- I want to see fourth street for cheap, but I have no idea whether or not to peel on fourth if I catch a blank. Obviously this means I should spend some time fussing around on twodimes.
