When I've been loaded up and had cross articulation i've managed to pop rivets on the panel work, twice stripped the thread off the screw that holds the roof down at the front two corners, and busted the seal between the roof and the frame resulting in water pouring in on me when it rains.
I was warned anytime I carry a load and have a lot of cross articulation I probably suffer the same result. It sounds to me that if I want a defender that does not soak me from the head down when it rains or have panels loosening I should probably not take it offroad unless I modify something.

Being a puma I am hesitant to lift it beyond standard height. so considering the articulation gains at the rear with this product, will my problems be solved? (within reason of course).
I've asked the vendor but he has only sold them to defender owners with modified suspension so he cannot honestly say.

I have one here, I'd say depends how you use it. If left locked in may even be harder on the chassis but unlocked will then depend on spring rates and weight. Of course if you often get close to cross axleing the truck will still twist. My doors don't work well when cross axled so they do twist to some extent!
