The sling is doubled except for the eye, right? Like the spliced eye or splice holding the ring in place is still just a single rope.
Somehow I wouldn’t anticipate the eye being the breaking point if tested to failure. No idea why,
Make it out of a quality 3/4” hollow 12 and yes definitely probably. Catching 1000 lb shock loads sure. Catching 2250 shock loads from a 10 foot drop on a not-so-stretchy rope and not letting it run a wee bit…. spooky.
Static loads of 2250 all day if you want though.
You got the 12 strand to...
I hate whoopie slings unless I’m standing on the ground to adjust it. Then I just moderately dislike them.
Make an Ultra, it’s so easy, and if you decide you don’t like it, you can easily take it apart and make a whoopie or dead eye.
