Maybe it's just me, but telling people to fly on hardware they don't know the weight capacity of as well as just jimmy rigging clamps on poles seems like asking for trouble. (READ: Liability)

Are you using 2" global trust clamps?

Yes the GT Mini-360 is their smaller 2" clamp, rated at 225 #.

No one is telling anyone to do anything.

FYI:   

Bracket rated for 100 lb load
Clamps rates for  225 lb each
EV ZLX 12p Speaker   35 lb.

Yes, but the pole is holding it all so you would need to know the weight limit. This all looks like an insurance claim waiting to happen to me.

1) I would prefer using a bracket that connects via rigging points like the M10s on my K10s. This would be to avoid the unlikely, but possible situation where the tent bounces around causing the speaker to bounce off the pole mounting (also a possibility with tripods, but probably closer to the ground) and instead provide a mount that doesn't rely on gravity.

Absolutely... anything additional you can do to secure your specific speaker is a bonus.  The other thing you can do with the K series is to use their mounting bracket that bolts to the top and bottom of cabinet.. Then bolt the clamps to the K bracket and you're rock solid.

2) If you're able to suggest layout, having a tent with a stage under it at one end, and the audience in the middle and at the other end, running longways, you can ensure the stage is behind the speakers. In the OP picture, the seats would orient facing one end instead of one side. Obviously not an option here since half the audience is not under the tent. However, using that pic, there are 6 poles per side. The speakers could be mounted in the #2 spot and the stage between #1 and #2, audience between #2 and #6.

The client's wishes as to orientation can limit the practicality of this.    And in most cases, the tent is up before we get there.

Adding 35 pounds to one of 14 2" poles supporting a structure is a negligible difference.
