SO far, it's definitely legal.

No matter how robust the connection between the frame perimeter and the bumpers, were I an inspector, I would rule that this does not constitute a robust connection to the main structure/frame.
For the record, I am not an inspector.
Edit: Especially on the corners,which is where bumpers are mandatory.
