I think that any sort of pier has to be much more stable than the foldable tripod legs that come with most mounts. The only way my rig is going to fall over is if the single central bolt that holds the mount down breaks. No point in constructing a pier that can support 1000kg when you are only putting a 40kg payload on it. Most piers and their concrete bases are probably way over engineered.
I have a rats cage top and the pier is concreted in with only a wheelbarrow and a half of concrete. No stability issues here with a 10' newt and 20kgs of counterweights on top.
