Many years ago I carried 2 bikes and a canoe with a yakima rack on the first gen toyota van. Another two bikes on a rear rack. The canoe probably weighed 50-60 pounds.
Roof rack mounts are typically designed to rest on the roof structure, the same part that is designed to keep it from caving in if you rollover. I personally would not worry about anything that did not exceed the rack manufacturers limits.
