Completely doable. When I was on 2220, we did waterjet triangle cutouts on 4" channel in 2011, circular cutouts in 2012, and then we switched to tube for 2013 and 2014, which had rounded rectangular cutouts. Only had strength issues in 2012, and that was because of other stupid design choices. 2014 we had some of the most aggressive drive train lightening I've ever had manufactured and we had precisely zero issues with our drive train.
