The dogbones and spiders dont put any pressure on the lifters, it just keeps em from spinning.

the dogbones only let them rise xxx amount though. i wonder if that causes problems with the big ends of the lobes wanting to "catch" the rollers?

I doubt it, because that would mean that you'd have to put specially designed lifters for each cam, or eliminate the dogbones.

Imagine if one of the lifters fell off of there. You'd be wishing you spent the extra 30 minutes pulling the intake and just pulling the lifters out.
