You're absolutely right. This cantilevered shaft is weaker than a normal WCD shaft because it's longer and isn't loaded on both sides. However, I'm pretty sure it's strong enough, especially with no bumps or towers to wreck your frame this year.
Good choice with chains- I think they're better than belts.
