Any weight or balance issues are just a case of getting used to it.

I disagree with your statement, its not getting used to it, its putting up with it.

All this body-lens "balance" thing is fully artificial issue. When holding the combo properly, right hand carries only a small fraction of the whole weight. Left hand supports majority of the weight by supporting lens from below in the center of balance of the combo. Potential front/back imbalance of the combo is solved by moving the left hand forward/backward on the bottom of the lens barrel. Therefore there is no "unbalanced" combo (when considering normal weight lenses <1.5 - 2 kg).
