You don't need a tensioning system at all to use a belt drive. If anything, designing to exact center distances with a belt drive is better as it eliminates any chance of the belt run pairs being tensioned unevenly.
There's no reason that the belt pulley walls would bend, regardless of how they're attached to the assembly.
