Is this dropout joint going to fail?



Paragon sliders for Rohloff hub. Looks to me like the chainstay connection is going to be loaded primarily in torsion, with the seatstay really not adding much strength. The dropouts are stainless, so I used 50n silver and made sure to "fill 'er up", but the whole affair seems pretty marginal to me. What say you folks?
