Weeeell, I guess so... Given the fact that almost all destroyers near coast line will probably be stuck and with well known "efficiency" of SH5 planes ...Why not, it's better than nothing, I guess...

No, the pier has to be unit for it self, more exactly sea unit which shouldn't have any collision spheres and which will "meld" with the coastline.
If you create artillery and pier as one unit/object, the game will probably again detect coast proximity and block the gun, from some reason...
The pear should be something like 60-70m long and if possible wider in the base than on it's top (that's where bunker will be placed).
EDIT
OR maybe round shaped concrete platform with radius of 60 m , that would be even better I think...
