UCA triangulation

With all the trackbar issues there are, has anyone tried to use triangulated UCAs? Seems this would be awesome for flex and no worries about whether your axle is centered or not. Adjust the body mounts a tad inwards and make a center mount on the axle(yes, much more complicated than that, but thats the BASIC idea).
Lets here from everyone on this.

For the most part, this wouldn't be practical or safe for the front axle. There would be a lot of clearance issues with the engine and other brackets up front. Also there is a lot of lateral forces on the front axle when taking turns. I wouldn't trust something like this on a daily driver. I would like to hear other opinions too.
 
My triangulated 3 link does that but there are some serious clearence issues but you can make it work if you try...

4 links double triangulated would be a better choice for reliabilty
