I think on a sprinter theres still more than enough suspension travel even without a shortened strut, well that's if the bump stops have been taken care of anyway. I am running some GT4 celica shockers in my homebrew coil-overs so I have an additional 60mm of suspension travel from the stationary height. However I dont think I would have any travel problems even without it. Think of it like this, with hard springs at stock height it would push in 20mm if it was pushed really hard in my car, now if it was super low it would still be 20mm. I beleive my car would have about 30 to 40mm of travel if I used a stock strut, so I would pushing my luck but it should be fine.
As for RCAs your right they restore the original suspension geometry in a car. However I beleive its a common misconception that that's why they are good in the front, which I have been told is incorrect, and instead its the angle of the steering arm that really counts, so the RCA sets the steering arm back to being level which stops bump steer. For the rear of the car it changes the initial position of the roll center, in my car it helped get alot more traction which is important to me. I did this by modifying my diff housing, anyhow if you want to know more go to my worklog and start reading, the links in my signiture.
BTW my car handles awesome as it is and if I could gain an advantage in handling by raising it I would do it very quickly.
