I would think that a properly installed "press fit" master link (not a clip) would be just as strong as any other link.

I agree, as long as riveted-type master links will be used.

It's clumsy but not wrong. If two is bad then I guess one is, too.

Properly installed a master is as good as any other link. Especially riveted.
