Yeah if you and Trey and Sean put your heads together on it, I'm sure it's not going anywhere and it sounds like there are more gussets we can't see in the pic. But I doubt you needed 1/2" there Cob... unless you just had it laying around.
It's just a trade off... The downsides are just that thick stuff weighs more, takes longer to cut, and is more expensive if you're buying it new. The advantage is that even bad designs can escape breakage just by using thick material.
