I've got a good few hours so timing shouldn't be an issue hopefully. Is it really that more risky through-checking in terms of losing bags?

Thanks.
bags are not any more likely to miss the connection on a t3 to t5 connection than they are on a connection within t5. The bags will make it to t5 before you do
