I'll agree that the dangers of over taxing front dropouts cannot be overstated. We just had a discussion here a few days ago about putting front hub motors in aluminum forks.
The bike I converted 5 years ago has the same safety tabs I put on this one, and the dropouts show no sign of stress, so I'm pretty confident they do their job.
