I don't think you are going to overstress the rig. I have a similar masthead rig with a large overlapping genoa and mine also goes to windward very well with no main and stays well balanced. The only problem you might have is if you have to tack for some reason. With all the sail area in the big genoa tacking is going to be hard work and the bow will blow off a long way while you are winching it in.
