After your post i discussed your concerns with my rigger, but he does not agree with you.

I can't tell from the photos, but if that block is attached through the open body of the turnbuckle, I would have to agree with osirissail that this is a very bad idea.
I have sometimes seen attachment made at the chainplate. Could you swap out the clevis pin, and replace it with a D-shackle that has the same pin size? That way you would not be attached to the turnbuckle.
