Previously I had the hanging style and never had an issue with my carbon road bikes. Key is not to overclamp the top tube.
The rack style though makes it so easy for getting all bikes on without interference or rubbing, whereas hanging style was a massive PIA to load.

I have the Thule T2 Pro XT (which I really like) but I need to upgrade it this year by buying the add-on so it fits 4 bikes.
I'm worried about the weight, as you say. Even the 2-bike is pretty heavy. I dont keep the rack on all year and take it on/off everytime I use it, so moving it around when its that heavy is kind of annoying. Plus my wife cannot do it herself if I'm not home. Too heavy.
How easy is it to convert back to the original 2-bike? The online video makes it look easy, but many online reviews says it is really really difficult.
Might look at other options this year and will check out that 2+2 Yakima suggested here.
