Yes, we had such conversation here not so long ago. I was (maybe am still) considering a seated bongos stand.
My essential requirement is that the stand does not do its job solely on the wooden bridge between the macho and hembra. So that the mechanical stress during playing isn't concentrated on the bridge. Unfortunately the LP stands do not have extra support, and anchor the bongos solely by the bridge.
Those stands provide added support/stabilization underneath the bongos: Meinl (with a long padded T-support rod), the Tosca you showed (although the support is short like a tab, and doesn't extend across the drums diameter, but maybe it is sufficient), and the Gon Bops which seems to have an extensive but apparently convoluted/unwieldy support.
The Meinl being the simplest would be my favorite, and possibly the Tosca too (though the Tosca doesn't seem to be readily available in Europe).
