I just weighed the camera, lens, QR, head, strap - 1800 g., not much
more than half the stated capacity. The lens is only about 10 cm long
and under 600 g, so the load isn't particularly off center for an SLR
with zoom.
So I'd have to say my copy doesn't reliably meet spec.

So it would seem. I haven't tested the wrapping thing with the big one.
I wasn't terribly impressed with wrapping the little one, but it has the
neck.

Should be fine.
