#25 chain has been used successfully by many many teams for driving applications (including both of my own teams), and greatly reduces the weight. If you correctly tension the chain, and everything is aligned right, they pose no issues. It should be just fine in this setup
From what I can see in picture, you're just bolting the angle iron on to the extrusion. I'd suggest putting some gussets or triangles in there in that setup to keep the frame from becoming a parallelogram.
