Good luck with your kart. The reason most go to tabs is so the frame will flex more when cornering leading to better handling. If you need strength in your kart like the first one i rebuilt then I welded the pan in to help with the ground off rails. A rule of thumb is that a kart with hard compound tires needs a flexable frame and a kart with soft compound tires needs a stiff frame.
