I am not so sure about the statement above that I have put in bold.
The facts you refenced are sound but it doesn't follow that 775Pros are the wrong answer.
I believe a lot of top level teams will have great success this year using the 775Pros in their drivetrain. This year weight is probably not the huge driver that it is in many years so I don't suppose it will be as common as it would have been if teams were fighting for every gram.
Even so, I would not make blanket statements predicting failure when I don't think the data necessarily support this conclusion.
FWIW, you will have much less margin for error when it comes to overheating your drive motors but that does not mean that good teams with sound engineering can't find a way to make it work.
