Noice Brenden ... Well over engineered but many things are in this game and theres no drawback if yer forgetting cost.
As you know
I did a very similar thing .. mines bolted directly to the top of the concrete pier with only 4 22mm bolts .. its very sturdy but a small amount off vertical that I cant pull down tight enough on one side to correct .. SO .. Ive seen many piers on this site that simply sit on nuts and washers then have securing nuts n washers on the top side .. so they can be leveled perfectly ... many of these piers hold equipment that have produced amazing images to say the least .. So Im pulling all my gear off and going that way .. So my advise is dont fret too much (like I did) about getting the top of the concrete dead level .. you now self leveling compound bla bla .. I set my bolts in the concrete but chemset is pretty good stuff. Just welded a right angle on the end of the threaded rod and made a plywood template to bolt them to so they set in the correct positions to pick up the mount .. Can tells you from experience .. theres a LOT of amber goes down after a day of mixing enough cement to do a footing !! .. Good luck
