Assuming proper alignment, is clamp n glue of the planks good enough joinery for long-term stability?

I am not an expert, but I think if you're keeping the joints perpendicular to the leg assembly and don't have any joints hanging off on either side, those would be work great. Those look like a sweet find! I think I'd also glue-only the tabletop if I were using them.
