So do you think using CF tape on the LE edge would prove less than useful as well?
Not if you DO want to fly combat. It's probably the single lightest thing you can add that will keep the LE together. CF along the entire LE makes it hang tight and resist splitting big time, cause the CF will be in tension for front end impacts. IT's not perfect, but it helps a lot for the weight it takes.

BTW, for a nice electronic mixer, check out :
