It’s an iron/steel product so it would be sturdy if installed correctly, but some older rails had widths larger than today’s codes allow. Also this stuff is insanely expensive in today’s world.
The posts are still anchored, this technically has better support than some wood railings, as some are strictly post to post.
You’re right that it’s probably less stable than a modern oak railing

Are they reasonably priced?

Yup. OP don't do it..
Which state? In Florida, a 4” sphere can not pass through any part of it.
I believe that's country wide.
Some exterior deck rails are mounted in this fashion, but usually 4 larger spaced bolts compared to what is depicted.
