I do see a problem. You will always have to keep tightening the canvas by removing the staples. If it is sold or a commission, you would have the wretched prospect of removing it from the stretcher and the frame to do that.

I use Twin Brooks stretchers, reliable, fast service with unique keyable hardware. Just Google them.

What you are using is called a strainer, usually not appropriate in my opinion for professional work , commissioned or not.

Their cross braces are keyed as well.
