Think about that for a minute. The tuner weighs something and requires DC
power, Do you want to suspend a few pounds of weight + wind load + coax + power
cable + balun(s) at the center of a horizontal wire?

I’ll display my benighted state by asking a question: why not place an
auto-tuner at the feed point of the doublet? That way, the feed line is flat
and the doublet can be any length, assuming impedance say desired frequencies
are in tang of the tuner. Then, add common mode chokes at the auto-tuner
input and anywhere else desired. Won’t that do the job?
