I’m imagining positioning this so that it’s vertical and balanced, and isn’t loading the hinge very much towards either opening further or closing?
Consider that it’s designed to hold the normal-weight screen in whatever position you leave it, including the maximum-leverage nearly-closed position, and it seems like it should be able to handle a somewhat heavier weight when close to the ideal angle?
It is very possible that it works—though I am somewhat doubtful and I don’t have a unit to test it.
A quick way for us to learn more would be to I guess duct tape the screen to the laptop at the angle/height your want—and work with it for a bit. Might be able to get more experimental data than our theory crafting.

I don’t think duct tape would work: I’d need something rigid. But duct tape and something strong and light would work.
(I probably also would want a tape that doesn’t leave a residue.)
