I just imagine if those front and rear end got hit and tweaked(they are metal alloy), replacing the alloy parts are more and constantly expensive than "plastic". And when plastic was hit hard, they were mostly broken, not deformed. When we see the plastic bulkheads broken, the car may still can run, but the alloy deformed, it affects the car runability more.
My 2 cents.

Some years ago my son raced the PB Black Diamond car, almost everything on it was CNC aluminum. So I can relate to tweaking the alloy parts. But it was mostly arms and hubs that were affected. I can remember only tweaking one side of a front bulkhead. If this car had plastic arms I doubt that the bulkhead would have been affected. With plastic arms they will most likely adsorb most of the force of impact.
So all things considered these bulkheads should be less likely to tweak.

clutch
what spring do you guys run and where do you set it at?

Hard to tell you this because the fact of not knowing the traction at the track and all the different conditions. Engine and such. Start with the base line and then adjust from there to get off the corners better, The more traction the harder you want to make the clutch engage the less the little bit softer you will want.

Yah man, come on by... I'll be there
As for the aluminum bending, you will run into bigger problems if you crash hard enough before the aluminum bulkheads bend. The reason being is that sever pieces are screwed together, so it is very rigid, whereas if an a-arm was aluminum it would bend easily. Personally, I haven't had any problems. The plastic a-arms would give in a crash, and abosrb the impact.
