For my speaker placement, Salisbury wet sounds just as "surround" as any surround sampleset I have.
My upperwork and basses audio groups each have speakers both in front and rear. For example, ranks assigned to upperwork use two stereo pairs front and two stereo pairs rear, 8 channels.
Same for basses, but there is only one pair front and one pair rear, plus a subwoofer, 4 channels.
There's also a 4 channel group in front only, that gets a few heavier 8' flues, solo reeds, cornets, etc.
Default routing algorithm on all three groups.
Salisbury works well this way, as do surround sets where the rear ranks are assigned to the same 3 audio groups. Hereford too.
On surround sets, I don't separate rear ranks for upperwork or basses, because it sounded hollow and unconvincing to me when I tried audio groups with front speakers separate from rear speakers. But I do send each rear rank, whose corresponding front rank is on the front-only group, to the upperwork group for obvious reasons.
