Why &.: not &. was needed? Because its right verb ^ is atomic,
so +/ only "sees" atomic results of ^ . 
Now @:| in +/@:|&. makes rank _ thus

   2 (^&)(+/@:|&.) 2 3 4
5.38516

Same can be done with hook (^~|) as in non-conjunctional norm:

   2 ([ %: +/@(^~ |)) 2 3 4
5.38516

Cf
   2 (([ %: +/@:^~) |) 2 3 4
5.38516
