Would the two of these Rope/Prusik combination be safe enough for a Tether/ Linesman's belt saddle set up?
Any info greatly appreciated, Please and Thank You.
 
Absolutely. Assuming the prussic is tied correctly and gripping the tether. A lot of us are comfortable with a rig rated for less.
 
A lineman is a fall prevention system not a fall arrest system. You should never reach near that force if used properly.

Even if you fell and slid down the tree and it miraculously caught, with what you stated for ratings your probably not going to come close IMHO.
