I've made a design for a similar setup for the old FS dedicated e-freeride project.
Basically it is the same, but there was a 1.2mm carbon tube with both end longitudinally cutted (like a seattube to be clear) so that it goes from clip to clip, and then, the two risers inserted into these CF tube ends and clamped while tightening the clips....the same concept could be reversed using a clean CF tube that goes inside the risers and cut them at the ends like a seattube to clamp the CF bar while you tight the clips.......it will add a very little weight and a touch of CF look at the middle, while increasing a lot the bar strength and decreasing the torsional load on the clips....
If not for the cool custom look, there isn't so much gain using stanchions clips in term of weight and strenght over a direct triple mount with light bars...though, another cool option could be to machine a top crown with integrated bar mount (like the Hope ones) or integrated clips for a split bar...
This was another option in my very first ambitious designs, when I was thinking to use DNM up-right double disc mount stanchions with custom CNCed wider crowns with integrated clip mounts and a wider custom Axle, to be used with a custom wider double disc mount Hub.
This would allows for a dual disc front setup using properly spaced spoke's flanges, that's the limit of the symmetric dual disc hub that i've found so far with standard dropouts width....
I'll post a CAD snap if it isn't that clear!
