You don't need the tubular K-member to do any of those other items.

But every pound counts, and 30 pounds is nothing to sneeze at. It’s a pretty pricy 30 pounds, but this offers a handful of other perks as well.

No disagreement there. Just don't understand stating it as if it allows one to accomplish those other mods.
If the caster/camber adjustments were better thought out, I would have been in on the initial order.

30 lbs on a 3700lb car that has 59% of its weight on the front is a drop in the bucket. Heck if you’re running cast 18x9” wheels in front you added 30lbs to the front! The access and lack of strut rods is the selling point of this thing, weight savings is a solid meh with tube K members, on any car not just these
I wonder if AJE will make stuff like stock style heimed control arms or even a whole IRS suspension too.
with the aluminum block you make up the weight of the block by the 4v heads and metal intake, my 98 cobra intake weighs 30lbs!!
also I wonder the merits of casting an aluminum front spindle. That’s atleast 10-20lbs of unsprung weight lost

Not that it's going to matter much, but I don't the lower control arms and strut rods are counted in the weight for the stock K-member. I bet those and at least 10# per side, so actual weight savings is more like 50#. Or am I of base there?
