I guess. Of course you can always guess at the wind and extend the outbound to make up the difference.If you are on the inbound course going outbound, when you turn around inbound, you may not be able to intercept the inbound course before getting back to the FAF, requiring another turn in holding to get established.
btw, your reason for offsetting is my reason for preferring a teardrop when both a teardrop and a parallel are reasonable entries.
