the problem is that the rudder could not be brought back to center with one servo hard over....
If it's the two servo tray and one servo locks all the way left, by putting the other servo all the way right should bring the rudder to neutral or close. If the servo that locks all the way over locks in a position past the max throw, then no, the other servo won't be able to put the rudder at neutral, but it will bring it close.

If it is a three servo tray and one servos locks all the way to one side, the other two servos will br able to bring the rudder to neautral, and possibly past.

A floating bellcrank would not be able to do more than the self adjusting servo tray, and both will prevent the other servos from frying or at least offer much better flyability, than if all servos were connected rigid, and one could take out or fight the other(s).

blkbird- I just manually tried it on my SWB tray and I could get it back to about 99%of neutral.

blkbird- You are right, it is a little heavy. Just that I am too lazy and too busy to make my own.
