On the tails... my concern would be natural frequencies adversely loading the at the wing root. But I suspect they've added lots of extra CF.

Here's a fun fact... in testing, the B52 wings could be bent all the way up until touching tips... and still not break. (also would not return to normal (yielding) but still, not breaking, is impressive. )
