You can use a harness without a cage, as long as your angles are correct, otherwise, as mentioned above, it can compress your spine and worse.
Benefits of a harness over a seatbelt is that you are more stripped into position, less movement of your body when cornering, less injury through the dispersal of force should you have an accident, etc...
You miss the point, the cage argument has nothing to do with angles. With a 3 point belt, when you roll it and the roof comes down, you get pushed sideways. With a harness holding you bolt upright, your neck snaps.

The question becomes, does the marginally improved protection in a sudden stop outweigh the risk in a rollover - noting that many modern cars have some degree of rollover protection built in and it's not a granted that the car is going to finish up sitting on your head. Personally I'd say no, but up to you.
