How well it “works” will be almost entirely dependent on the radial system you have installed and on the local noise level.   I’d recommend at least 32 radials - as long as you have space for. On or in ground is fine.    If you do that, the performance and patterns should be approximately like the charts shown in all the handbooks for verticals over a ground plane.

If you are asking about the ability of the tuners in the Elecraft products to accommodate the mismatch on each band, that is a different question.   In general Elecraft’s tuners will handle up to a 10:1 SWR.
