Because of the sag designed into my Dream Hammock Darien, no matter what angle I set the hammock straps, my ridgeline is always guitar strings tight. I used to worry about this but, in all the times I used the hammock, it has never given me trouble. I figure it just is what it is.

Buy it. If the ridge line is strong enough, it can work as a structural part of the suspension. Nothing wrong with that, as long as the trees are rooted well. Rex, if you placed your tree straps high enough, you'd get to a point where your ridge line would only be sort of tight and you could tweak it 90 degrees with everybody else. Higher still, and it would be loose enough to be a nuisance. No reason to change the way you're hanging until experience suggests otherwise.
Yes it increases the stress load. My understanding is the SRL locks the hammock in shape so the sag is always the same. It is determined by the length of the SRL and no lloonngger dependent on the angle of the suspension. When my trees are far apart I raise the straps as much as possible and then tighten as needed to stay off the deck.
