I haven’t had to deal with too many through axles...they just aren't something that show up at my co-op that often. I have used a round adapter for the Park stand and it was a royal pain to use. The through axle doesn’t really fit in the stand all that well either. I found a different adapter but haven’t had the opportunity to use it yet.

I bought one of these about 25years ago and learned to build wheels with it, it will make the job harder then a real pro stand but I think will do better then the one you asked about for not a lot more money. I still will toss mine in the car if I'm doing some form of neutral support as it does work well for doing a quick true or spoke replacement truing; this looks like its been updated nicely though its still the workman version.
It would do the job with all of the same warts as the one 408Mopar is looking at. It wouldn’t do 142mm or 148mm any better than the GoPlus would.
