I have done that^^. My only elk euro isnt giant, but it sticks away from the wall enough that its a lot of leverage, and its in a stairwell so if it falls its going a long way. And I just dont trust drywall.
I cut open a square on each of the studs on either side, added a horizontal brace at the right height, and then screwed the piece of drywall back on, a little tape, a little mud, a bit of screening, some paint, and a few “moments” later I was able to screw the mount directly into the horizontal brace.
