In reference to this previous thread, a very well known and awesome suspension guru/parts supplier for the Nissan Z32 has this idea implemented in his products and explains the benefit here:

However assuming the majority of the load is carried through the first 7 threads I would think the strength is reduced compared to the same sized traditional lock nut design. Any thoughts?

I wouldn't worry much about reduced strength. All of these joints are oversized due to stress concentration of the threads, especially since they are non-preloaded.
