Ideal system. Simple and not too complicated.
I do similar with about 30 tomato plants but use rebar.

A few more cords were added today to support fruit laden branches. The tomatoes are absolutely free growing with no obstructions.There are 32 plants. I choose a different location each year. My tie strings are 1/4 inch rope tied as necessary.
What size wire do you use for the overhead lines? I would imagine that sagging is a problem.
