I'm still slightly worried that the part won't be strong enough so we may try to make one like yours for backup.
I'd be a bit concerned myself as well. It really depends on orientation of the hub during printing, with what machine, and material.

Since you said you would post photos of your "winch" assembly that makes me even more concerned...
