I agree.
But keep in mind, with the cut line just below the red fins, the booster will be stable and come in ballistic - the forward end will take a pounding.
With some hacking, such as having the booster motor sticking way out in back, and the separation line moved farther aft, you might get the booster to tumble, and not tear itself up.
That said, the fins are sort of small, so, even tumbling, the booster may still come in pretty fast and hit hard.
