Is a parallelogram mount the best way to go for an 8lb pound binocular? Alternatives? Thoughts?

For versatility, YES. But for stability, well maybe.
A Pgram mount like the newer model UA Unimount Light would handle an 8# binocular and really give you a wide range of viewing, even for different height people, and even for seated viewing. But you'll have a little movement in the binocs. The base tripod you put it on will have an affect on the overall stability. A tripod/head combo like the Bogen 501 on a 3246 legs would be rock solid and would still provide vertical adjustment.
I use both. And both work well.
