I've got my doubts about the two separate plates being able to adequately support the shaft. It would probably work, but it's going to put unnecessary excess load on the bearings and possibly deflect more.

The bearings shouldn't count on the shaft for alignment.

I know 254, 1538, 968 and our bearing blocks all are complete and rigid assemblies.
