It's not nearly as much of a risk if you know how much power the car bleeds off when not running. The bank would work just fine in my dad's 1972 Chevy truck, since it uses zero power when off.

My car can't use it at all because it would bleed it to the point of failing to start in a couple hours, but if I did do it, I could easily use a small rechargeable battery to counteract that drain, or just let it roll down the driveway and pop the clutch.

sreeve212 just needs to do some testing similar to what I've done; on a similar note, for all we know oldtamiyaphile just needs to use a bank of 650s instead of the 350s to be good to go.

Just need some research and proper planning to be able to say what can and can not be done.
