It wasn't the LM that was making me cringe, it was the thought of trying to arrest over 150kgs with a hyperextended leg, the thin bar just makes it even more stressful on the leg than if it were on solid ground.

If you had no training or experience in climbing down such a ladder with all that gear on then yes, it would be quite difficult.
If, however, you'd spent years practising and were also backed up by a large team of extremely clever people you could work out all those little problems to make them manageable.
