One failure causes multiple problems. If you break a tent pole, which happens, you have a hard time loading your gear. If you break your rack, which happens, you have a hard time pitching your tent. It's a valid UL goal for stuff to serve multiple uses, like my sleeping pad is my pack frame, some use a poncho as a sleeping tarp, a hiking pole is a tent pole or splint, a bandanna can be a bandage, sling, water pre-filter, etc. But I'd be concerned about a structural failure in this case.
