I do have a tendency to run with things a bit too far. :-)

Your solution's close, but no cigar. It accomplishes my goal (not
ending up on the last line of the window) by always ending up in the
middle of the screen (which will never be the bottom). But, I only want
any scrolling at all if the next match is off-screen. (Which works
right with 'so' enabled.)

Running with your solution, this is what I was looking for:

:nnoremap n nzv3j3k

(zv ensures folds are open after landing at the search destination, and
the jk sequence ensures there are at least three lines visible below the
search match)
