question
Would you recommend this tripod for long-exposure photography using a Nikon D500 with either a 70-200mm Nikkor or a 150-600mm Tamron?
Max load is one thing and resistance to vibration and torsion caused by wind and other factors is another. High end tripod manufacturers like Gitzo will tell you that their series 1 traveler tripod is recommended for up to 100mm, max 200mm focal lengths...
I think you need something heftier for long exposures in the focal ranges you are mentioning.

question
Will this support my Canon 5dMark IV with a 24-105mm lens in portrait mode without creeping?
We would say you should not have any issue of the ball head moving once locked. If you are doing a lot of vertical shooting, you should consider using an L bracket. Kirk BL-5D4 L-Bracket for Canon 5D Mark IV B&H # KIBL5D4. This will fit directly into the clamp on the ball head.

Will this tripod set up hold a canon 5d markiii with 24-70 2.8 L or a 70-200 2.8 L lens with out creeping?
This tripod is ideal if there's no wind. If it's windy even very little you can not take long exposure shots with your listed equipment.

Will this be a good tripod for a Nikon D750 + ...
Will this be a good tripod for a Nikon D750 + Tamron 15-30mm G2? Approx 1960g. I do mainly (like 99.99%) vertical shots.
Yes and No.
Tripod legs will hold fine, but not the head.
Get a better tripod head like the K-20 II or K-30 II, and pair it with a L Bracket for vertical shots.

Can I switch the ball head to the K-20X?
Can I switch the ball head to the K-20X?
It is packaged with the Y-11 head. The head is removable & A K-20 will fit. If you don't already own a K-20, why not try it with the Y-11 first. It may be just what you need.
