Two points
1 max weight classification for hardpoint 2 and 6 seems to be around 600 plus kg assuming ls-6 is 500 kg MK-83 class bomb plus tail and kit another 30-60 kg adding pylon attachment weight as well and round totaling ~ 600 kg
Same goes for paf REk which has pk83 ie 1000 lbs or 500 kg bombs plus kit and pylon

Second RAad tail unit with width broader than fuselage will not interfere with landing gear as its past the landing for both mirage and jf but I think may be centerline option will not work for jf due to overall ground clearance But under wing on pylon 3 and 5 with max weight capacity of 1000 plus kg and RAAD exceeding that limit by few kg , RAAD is 1100kg, RAAd may be an option
I think as mirage fleet is not going anywhere soon and jf has cm-400 class weapons along with REK , integrating RAAD may not be high priority but again last launch rumor was that jf was the platform and not mirage
H2/h4 same story and are max 700-900 kg class weapons but being retired with mirage platform in South Africa will perhaps go same route with a version perhaps adopted for jf if required , REK exceeds its performance and Almost same range of h4
