Epoxy will be stronger than that rivet. So don't even bother with that. A hole in that part of the stay might not be a good thing. A little bit of glass or carbon fabric layered over the foot of that stop and onto the stay will further make it stronger. But that might be more than is needed.
Yes, from my research, Araldite is a common epoxy used in carbon frames. There are two small holes actually, but that shouldn't be a problem to cover in case I use only glue.
You think only glueing the part would be strong enough?

None of the LBS's are interested to work on this kind of repair. Bike is from '14-'15 and I'm second owner. No warranty anyway.

Yes, this was recommended to me this morning by a shop in Colorado. Waiting for their reply and yes, the part you link to, looks like something close enough to original.
