Forget the GIVI limits ! The main problem isn't the box, it's the carrier.
But with my aluminium boxes, mounted on a H&B carrier I never had
handling problems although the weight was never below 12kg each.

But of course I have to copy your "not yet ..." statement concerning a
brake of the carrier :-)

(BTW: The are mounted above (!), not outside the exhaust)
