I wonder if a tangential tool cutter would help with any chatter issues?
Ray, thanks for driving the point home, it would simply be very poor practice to attempt to turn a long slow taper like that using a conventional tool without some sort of extra rest to support the work. However, this style of tool might be a hedge against the work jumping on top of the cutter.

Do you have any experience with this particular approach?

The MT3 arbor is tangless. At first I had the same question and made a sleeve to lock the boring head to the quill. After some tests it did not seem to be a problem. The MT3 taper holds very well on its own and was actually very difficult to eject from the quill. ... A more obscure cconcern is the boring head unscrewing on its arbor. A set screw was added on mine as can be seen in the first picture above.
