Curious as to how to determine if the chassis is stable or fit for autocross for a car without the stiffening add ons.

The stress imposed on the car will depend first on what tires you choose to compete with, to state the obvious. If you compete in stock street (including tires) you do not need to improve the original design. This also assumes you have little to no serious rust issues.

Grippage is what causes the most stress on a chassis at AX.

Those g's have to go somewhere.
