The biggest issue is rigidity, if the plate is rock solid then yes..... But most side by side setups are a bar with dovetail sliders in which to put separate bars with more screws..... Not the best choice.
I use a large plate about 16 inches square annealed aluminum ( much harder than regular aluminum) and bolt the rings to that. No noticeable flexure at 1000 mm
