I know of only 2 ex-Nex FO's possibly joining Efly. However as I said before I believe all the
captains are ex Flightline the TRI/E being an exception.
If published or calculated performance (take off or landing) results in a more restrictive weight, then it makes no difference whatsoever if you have a beefed up gear that will allow a higher structural weight - you will always need to observe the relevant regulated weight. This can be a problem on runways such as WAT and GWY.
