The gussets I would use would be made from .09" 7075 aluminum sheet metal, be riveted in. Knowing how small rivet heads are I can easily say that it would be under .25". I just do not know how to interpret the part that I made bold. The words "such as" leaves room for interpretation that have left me uneasy, I would like to say that flat gussets are fine and as long as the assembly is under a .25" but I fear that it might not be. For this reason I am preparing to TIG weld the outer seams.
If your gusset plates are down in the bumper zone and would be covered by bumpers, then the gusset plates contribute to the shape of your frame perimeter and if suitably covered with a bumper, you'd be fine.

IF your gusset plates are above the bumpers, 1 quick solution would be to simply mount some of the same kind of material directly below your gussets where it WOULD BE behind your bumper (thus reshaping your frame perimeter to include the gusset material) and you should be fine again.
