Seat stays are not really load bearing and there are plenty of people who fixed their MTB seat stays and huck the crap out of them.
Seat stays are load bearing. They bear compression. They bear the entire weight supported by the rear wheel, which is 60% of the total weight.

All parts of the frame bear load. If there was any part of the frame that wasn't necessary, it would have been eliminated to save weight.
