I assumed that rounded crown frames were a lot weaker than crown topped frames. Am I wrong?

Mostly. The strength of a structure is related to its shape, but shape alone does not determine strength. Quality and thickness of materials, design and build/weld quality are all factors.
And generally, frames are the last things to break on a unicycle so crown design isn't really an issue unless you need to stand up there.
