Anyone did this with a "stock type" clutch?

I'm looking to AVOID the pivot ball failure and remove the entire clutch fork entirely.
I've known the non-turbo clutch fork to fail, but I haven't heard of the turbo clutch fork failing yet...
Note: the turbo clutch fork is thicker than the non-turbo clutch fork, and they should swap over.
The weak link is the pivot ball itself.
In fact, I believe the stock zenki FC pivot balls is weaker (i.e. smaller threads) than the kouki FC pivot ball.
At one point in time, I was toying with the idea of designing a stronger pivot ball, but these concentric hydraulic throw-out bearings eliminate a lot of the complexity of the whole system.

Tilton makes a really nice one (6000-series) that has adjustable height, so you can adjust them if needed for multi-plate clutches...?
I'm at that point where I'm going to be swapping over to a multi-plate unit, so that adjustability might come in handy.
Downside is that this is priced around $400.
There are cheaper unit available at a quick glance...

All these "universal" units look like they might need some kinda adapter collar to fit around the trans input shaft - pretty easy to figure out...
