What kind of weight can the point and chain take?.

The Chain may not be the weakest link.
The bolt supporting the dropper is around 12mm with around a 12kN SWL.
That said there is no secondary fail safe (check coupler) should bolt fail. so not sure it is a suitable suspension point.
As a secondary thought

If the whole thing is capable of being hung from the top bolt as detailed, why do you need the bridge clamps between the plates? when a simple bolt would appear to be adequate?
