If everything is clamped down tight, then that should hold. Nitto (and Riv) hardware is plenty strong. And 1 cm of clearance should be plenty.
However, that seems sub-optimal, for the reasons you already supposed. I think it would be better to use the upper eyelets on the front. If you can't get a straight Nitto strut to work there, then maybe try a piece of flat stock to bridge the gap. Like a chunk of a chainring <https://www.flickr.com/photos/rperks1/8718438496/>?
