Can you elaborate futher on this? Does it have benefits over existing implementation, other than not needing to place a block to limit the size on a large wall?

¯_(ツ)_/¯

just thought it was an improvement over the current way

also I noticed that you added a thumbs up reaction to my camera tripod suggestion, does that mean you plan to add it to the mod?

Yes. tripod was a planned feature for long time. It'll come eventually.
