Think about it this way-notice how polyester fillers absorb solvent when you spray primer over them?-same happens but to a lesser degree when you paint directly over poly primer then they have to come back out and kill the gloss.

end resut is i see the car still on the road today and i painted it about 5years ago and I have to say when ever i see the car i am like damn that hood looks good!!!!!!
so I believe if finished fine enough and mixed corectly and dry enough it will hold up as good as anything!
