You've reduced the stiffness of the subframe *tremendously* in that area. On the order of -75% or more. It's worse than that really as the welded plate lines up with voids on either side so no direct load path into the intact front and rear structure. A lot of work for what looks to me to be serious reduction in stiffness and structural integrity. For what? I don't get it...
