Gonna be good !! - that front rail (and the front to back ones for that matter) aren’t doing a whole lot in terms of limiting flex - I would think . But if you glue and screw the front rail to your desk-top from the underside (pocket hole jig would be ideal - or little tiny metal corner brackets) then it’s stiffness is acting on the front edge of the desktop as a beam - to limit flex. I did this over 1700 mm - doesn’t flex even with the weight of a 10yo . So you might even get away without a middle leg.

Building a big desk, may have gone too big. Think it’s about 6cm too deep (currently 75cm deep). Would it be madness to try and trim with jigsaw?
