Your drawing shows the neutral bonded in two places and earthed in two places.Yes open neutral faults. But it seems so much more likely to me that the messenger wire on my triplex service drop will snap one day compared to anything happening to my outbuilding neutral in conduit.
200% what you want to avoid.
If the neutral is lost , the earth will try to carry the neutral current. This creates a step Hazzard. Two feet on the earth is a less resistive path than the earth between the feet. People become part of the circuit.
