box also needs threaded entries or hubs identified for support of the box though.
Can't support typical 4 inch square box by raceways only.

I see this all of the time. Not code compliant but with two entries made up tight it's not going anywhere either.

I never said I fully agree with code
One does need to be aware of what it says though and not be too disappointed if an inspector would reject it based on what rules say.
I have seen this on low income housing units built in 60's. They put some of them in walls that were 4 sheets of drywall thick, no wood framing. They weren't going anywhere as long as that wall remained intact even if a single raceway entry.
