If built right it will be fine, most people just find it easier to use over-kill materials and not worry about engineering it too carefully. Triangulate the main parts where bend or twist loads are applied, and ensure that attachments spread the load over over a reasonable area. It will likely pull out of shape more with welding but not exactly a precision piece of equipment.

You don't need anything heavier than that! That material will be shitloads big enough, if used half intelligently.
Steel is strong.

Most of the fabrication and rust repairs I know about are now done and guards are cut for the flair kit. Next is to get her down to blasting, fingers crossed I don’t find too many new issues.
