I use a shop vac as well. It is metal and rusting. See if you can find one with a plastic tank. They are sometimes a pan in the ass to empty, I make a mess. The drip pan you have is great, I have the same thing except my drip pan is bigger than the stand inside of it. I made a major upgrade to a shelf unit.
A wire rack/shelf unit. I only use one shelf about 6-8 inches above the floor. The plants sit on the shelf and the drip pans slide in and out as needed to empty water. It sure makes it easy for me to water and clean up.

That’s gonna be how I set it up next run.

I fretted about this issue for a while but settled on just using a good sponge. Hit all four sides and it pretty much soaks all the overflow right up. Then I wring into a bucket which is discarded in my backyard.

I use the recommended 10-20% overflow. This is a lot of water to sponge.

Next time you fret over this try a lower chord or maybe go higher if you have the energy.
