Ace worked that out as well with their new click-lock mechanism. They also sell these baseplates individually.
What makes me hesitant is that Ace doesn't seem to sell spare kingpins for these, or any other for that matter. Perhaps they never break, I don't know.
Another thought I had is, doesn't the kingpin add another point of stability/lock during smiths/feebles? Whereas if only the hanger touches the rail it's more prone to slide out of it?
I can see that being the case on ledges, but on round bars I could see the kingpin getting in the way and decreasing stability
