And yeah I plan to cut out clearances on the chassis to make room for the bolt heads, or use them for mounting if required like you said.

No. The dog gears should be solidly attached and retained to the bearings they ride on. The dog clutch moves back and forth into the gears, and if the gears move you laterally you are going to have a bad time.
