You mentioned oil-canning.

What about carrying it upside-down, directly on the Subaru's
bars?

This is how we move our kayaks on my GF's subaru legacy wagon. We can
get 2 on there if we angle one onto the other, but it's not the
easiest setup. Tossing one onto the rack and strapping it down,
however, takes about a minute and is easy as pie. We've done ~300
mile (each way) trips like this, at highway speeds and then @ 50mph on
the dirt logging roads, without problems. I have a friend who does
the same with a large canoe on top of his SUV, and it's just as easy
for him.

That takes care of my afterthought then - which was around the
strength of the Subie's racks themselves.
