Yes, I wear the Upstrap around my neck, too, and it's reasonably comfortable. The only thing it doesn't work well for is the wrap-three-times-around-the-wrist technique because the rubber pad isn't flexible enough.
I have back and neck issues (something about 30 years of carrying cameras) so I prefer to keep weight on my shoulders or, better yet, my hips. The little mirrorless cameras have been a Godsend.
