Strip: Yakama foot brace install

I purchased Yakima foot braces with sliders to install into my first build. Not that I need them for the Great Auk, but I had thoughts of someday trying a sail rig out so I figured I'll put them in now.

Has anyone used the One Ocean Kayak way of installing them, with the nut glued to the hull rather than the threaded post? Just concerned with strength. I don't know how I like sinking the nut into the wood either. I could see how this would give a little more room.

Looking for some opinions.
