As long as the bumpers are fully within the 2"-10" volume, as defined in the blue box under [R01], there would be nothing against this, yes?

As bumpers are 5" tall, it would be viable to go over the 4" obstacle with the top of the bumper 10" off the ground.

There is no rule against it. Rather, it seems like the GDC intended to allow this by allowing bumpers which start above the barrier.
