Came a little late and didn't see photo/illustrations, but there are simple solutions to both points.
That only happens if you use it "wrong". With OP's setup, he would first rotate the gun until the dot is directly above bore, then zero the RDS with the gun in that orientation. Because that's how the gun should normally be fired at. As long as you keep the dot directly above bore, the ballistic will work exactly the same way as any traditional optic setup. Aka the bullets will hit exactly how everyone expects them to hit, without any funny business regardless of distance.
To zero, position the gun as stated in #1, and then simply rotate the TARGET so it's orientation matches the MRDS. Then zero as usual.
Our site is currently down (targeted ransomware attack) so I can't direct-link photos, but here is an IG post utilizing the same concept, except we matched the sight-height over bore for you already and the optic is exactly at 90 degrees when used (so it zeros super easy):

Nope!! No concerns at all. In fact that is our recommendation if anyone were to use a clamp-on type piggyback mount that holds to the "tube" of any optic. Put the MRDS at roughly 4 o'clock, tweak it until it perfectly matches sight-height over bore, and go to town. Your cheekweld will never have to change between using the two optics, and every time you flip back from MRDS to your main optic, you'd find your eye automagically positioned correctly in the eye-box... that alone will make you wonder why people would ever do it any other way.

This is probably a stupid question, but doesn't the offset MRDS/RDS get the crap beat out of it?
I am running a 2.5-10 optic on one AR and it seems a natural for an offset RDS/MRDS (if it was a "hard use" gun).
