When the car manufacturer recommends a particular filter for very long change intervals, maybe I would consider doing it...
OK to run any oil filter over 5k?

Well I have been doing this for many miles and haven't had an issue and the oil pressure is within 0.5psi of when the filter is new and after 20K KM (12K miles).
The OEM filters from Hyundai that I used to run would also be within 0.5psi after 5K KM (3K miles) so I don't see any issues running this change interval.
Your results may vary but I think this proves fine for my application.
