Getting tension doesn't seem to be a problem....

As for durability, who knows? for narrow spindle/high flange - none at all.
For low flange wide spindle, supposedly good enough.
The guy who built that one ran it as a front, and at slightly lower the usual spoke tension. For whatever usage profile he was using it was apparently good enough.
