Well, except that each point would primarily see forces in 1 direction, where in this case, the mount point will see forces in both accel and decel?

Interesting idea, and I'm surprised we haven't see it before (unless I just missed it) given that it would appear to greatly simplify the installation. What are the limitations of this setup then?

I'm thinking there needs to be a 3rd link attatched to the top of the diff housing

The truck arm set up typically is triangulated and mounts around the transmission mount area
