I'd be slightly concerned about braking forces damaging the joint between the nds chainstay and the bb shell/lug.

I have no scientific basis for my concern.

Mmmm

If there is strut bracing the nds seat stay and chainstay I would think it would hold.

@MCamb if you can live with the risk of it eventually failing i would say go for it.

I’m on the fence as to whether a strut might make it worse by transferring the forces more directly to the chainstay.
