I'm looking at getting a quick release rotating stem, so that I can quickly make my flat bar handlebars become inline with my frame for easy storage. Asking on this sub as I bike pack and need it to hold up well on mixed terrain bikepacking. Does anyone have any experience with these? I'd be concerned it's going to fail while carrying a load speeding down some trail.

PS this is just one example which seems more secure than other options as the quick release affects the usual clamping point for a stem. Other options rotate just the extending part of the stem while keeping the headtube clamp in place and therefore have more moving parts.
They wear out really fast
