Mounts that attach to stem via pinch bolts: safe?

There are several generally well-reviewed mounts for cyclos (Wahoo, Garmin, etc) that mount to the bike via the stem pinch bolts. The idea seems clever enough, but I wonder if it results in any sort of "weak spot" on the bike. Has anyone used these? Do you have a take on how secure they are? Is there any sort of "official" word on whether using this sort of mounting setup runs a risks of premature equipment failure? etc

Random example of what I'm talking about
