The diff needs to be constrained properly to avoid failure. The ally casting is up to the job it was intended to do. It's when its not used as intended there are problems. So long as the diff nose is correctly constrained in the Z axis there shouldn't be any problems. I have first hand experience of this and many years of experience working with Mazda power plant frame cars.
The fabricated cover you have designed may make the diff more usable in varying installations so long as the diff nose is suitably constrained.
Does seem like a sledgehammer to crack a nut though.
£95 seems mighty cheap considering the work that will be required to produce it, but then I guess you know your business Phil

You said it yourself there....."not being used as intended"
But what Phil is doing is making the best of a bad job as Sierra stuff is drying up now and the Mazda diff obviously doesn't like being in anything but a Mazda.....perhaps
