I would double check with the manufacturer of the saddle (looks like Fizik?) and check their documentation regarding their markings on their saddle rails.
In my experience, the outer limits correspond with the furthest out the clamps should be placed, before you run the risk of damaging the rails and/or them failing.
From the picture, it appears as though it’s beyond that limit. 🙁
You may want to flip over to a bike fitting subreddit and get some input their on how/why your saddle is needing to come so far forward. Unfortunately, because the VCLS post you have has an offset, you may be fighting this problem until you get a straight post.

It depends how far forward your knees are relative to the pedal axle as a result of the seat being this far forward.
If your knee is in line with the pedal axle then youre all good, if not move it back / forwards to suit.

Depends on if you are an average 50 -100kg yes. But not sure if you 150kg or something, different story.
I have seen many ppl with similar positions

There’s lines on the saddle rails. If you’re within the farthest left then I’d say no

You can flip the „flip Head“ saddle clamp to get the contact point further forward on the rails.
