3) I got to installing the fender brace with these awesome new rivet nuts (definitely recommend).

I wonder if there would be additional benefit to be gained by epoxy bonding these? (3M 73333, etc.) I'm not really sure if there's any risk of movement over time around the bolt holes?

From a stiffness performance perspective, technically yes although I’d wager you’re capturing 99.9% of the value with just fasteners. I think on balance you could make an epoxy/rubber joint a little lighter though. Given that I don’t actually know the loads here, tough to say!
