I haven't done cutouts on a Brooks, but did shave a B17 down (took the skirts off) many years ago, and it's holding up fine. I weigh less than 150 though. Looks like a poor man's Swift.
If you're going to do a cut out, get a decent punch set so that you can make properly rounded ends to prevent the cut from getting longer than intended.
