My Datsun is set up like that. no lateral movement issues, and it keeps things alot neater in my opinion.

Ive got bent 4link bars on my Ram as well. Ive had them for 4 years now with out a problem. Its the only way i would do it now to be honest, the look is sooo much more appealing.
However, it absolutely is weaker than having a straight bar, but in no way weak enough to fail as a 4link bar on a bagged truck, with the correct wall thickness tubing kept in mind, or allow any side to side movement at all.
