I would 2nd Brinker, at least put another plate in the backside of your driverside arm running from the end of the tube & gusset going forward down into the area just behind the axle.
I built mine almost identical to what you show, and though it took over 5 years, I finally did discover a small crack starting to form in the edge of the arm right at the end of the tube gusset in the middle (due to the front part of the arm flexing from the axle (differential) torquing on it).
The passengerside should be fine as is though (no diff on that side).
Like how I did my d-side (I used your pic as I don't have one at the moment):
