The belt release stuff really seems to have reliability issues. Or, just use an appropriate manufacturing technique for high volumes...
As I stated in another comment I've done this before. The problem with a build tray full of objects is if one object screws up, e.g. it pops off the build plate, the entire build will end up being scrap. If you're printing a lot then maintenance of the build plate becomes a pretty large issue. I definitely agree that more appropriate manufacturing techniques like injection molding is better after a specific point.
