If it snaps at 6.8, it'll snap at 8Nm.
No slippage at 6.8, constant adjusting though as I lend out my bike quite often. Check up on the reviews on MTB forums.
No such issues neither with Salsa nor Thomson which have the barrel nut and steel bolts.
Only suggested the former as OP wanted clamps which comes in both QR and Allen key, otherwise I'll go Thomson with the 4mm instead of the 3 they are currently supplied with.

Specifically I want to swap the bolt/QR out ideally without replacing the seatclamp and removing the seatpost. Is that possible with the Salsa? Doesn't look like it unfortunately
Maybe I just have to buy two and mark my seatpost height

There’s your problem, it’s specced for 8Nm so perhaps you had a slipping seat post and then overtightened it without a torque wrench?
I’m aware the design isn’t optimal but in my experience it functions perfectly fine when tightened to spec and it looks nice matching my headset.
