Never liked having a long lens with a lot of mass on a mount that elevates the center of mass relative to the pivot. Maybe ok for smaller though.
My guess is that you never worked with a heavy duty monorail large format camera? No matter which tripod head you choose the mass and center of gravity was always well above the head's plot point.
I have now tried a similar arrangement made of (mostly) RRS components and have no movement issues down to at least 1 second with an EF100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L II on a 5DS.
The head I am using is the Arca-Swiss B1 Monorail fitted with an RRS PC-LR clamp.
The RRS components are , from bottom to top
A CRD Rail (in the PC-LR clamp)
An MPR rail (in the end-clamp of the CRD)
An FAS clamp (on the MPR)
A "Lens Support Pkg, single Quick-Release" (CB-10 camera bar, CB-YS long lens support, and a Sunwayfoto DDT-53 double aligned clamp)
It works well but it is a bit of a "Rube Goldberg" contraption, and while it has the personal benefit of me not having to buy anything else, I like the idea of having (and having to assemble/disassemble while on location) a one piece unit instead of the CRD+MPR bars.
