Looks like you might have more rivets than you really need on the gearboxes, but better to have too many than too few I suppose.
This may be something you intentionally didn't add, but you may want to consider a bellypan for reasons ranging from enhanced rigidity to convenient location for electronics.
My only other thought was that you might want to add more overlapping/connecting material at the corners. I have modeled a couple drivetrains like this, but have never built one of them, so I will defer to someone with more experience on this aspect.

I am planning on adding cross supports over and under the gearboxes for added rigidity.

Ummm. I'm not quite sure what you are saying here. I stated that I dropped the center wheel 1/8"
