I would make sure that you have plenty of support especially around the battery. You could possibly attach some angle brackets (like in your corners) and mount the belly pan to them.

Also, does your cutout for the gearboxes have enough clearance to remove them without dropping the pan out?
We've been attaching our belly pan directly to the bottom of our rails for a few years now and have never had a problem.
