As you apply load via the cockpit and loadbay, flex will occur in the bottom tube at the joint with the vertical tube which houses the control-steerer.

This flex will allow the loadbay to apply a force rearwards across the unsupported vertical tube.

What force will this tube sustain at design capacity?

Would a brace from the steerer/bottom tube junction to the center of the diagonal brace, or interceding the center brace from the steerer/bottom tube to the top tube/seat tube sort that easily enough if there was an issue?

Kick arse cargo bike though Hulsroy, very nice work, jelly of skillz and tools!
