Yes, that’s correct. So I can mount the camera on the tripod with the strap
attached. Since the trap is a sling it’s quite long, so I sometimes boop the
strap over my head when using the tripod. It provides insurance againt spills.

Not sure I understand. Does your Arco type plate have an additional
tripod socket on the plate itself so you can leave the plate in place &
screw the Black Rapid's connector into the plate?

The Black Rapid attaches to a tripod socket as well. I bought an Arco type
tripod plate that includes a tripod socket adjacent. It remains on the camera
full time.

Looks like the target market is photographers who use sling straps that
attach to the tripod socket on the bottom of a camera. One problem with
those is you have to disconnect the strap to put the camera on a tripod.

I am 6 ft (1.83m), I like the camera just below my elbow if on my side
Heh … Mine is usually set to about 46". Longer than that and the camera sits
too low, swings around too much for me. :)
I have anchors fitted to most of my cameras, so I just swap the Leash to
whatever I need to use it on. (I actually have three of them, for tripods and
second camera carry…).
I use a Black Rapid dtrsp. It‘s long, D esigned for cross chest use and
bulletproof. The camera slides on the strap so it can be raised without moving
the strap. It’s the only strap I’ll use.

I looked at that project. The neat part of the base plate is that it takes the
load off the standard lugs (not designed for that kind of carry) and puts the
load at the base which allows the camera to lay flat more reliably.
It's primarily targeted to work with an SLR or largish EVF camera's
I've always carried my cameras like that ...
you just need a longer than normal strap, no fancy base bracket.
Also use an ancient Galen Rowell chest pouch
as a waist pack to secure same setup at my side when not scrambling.
