Looks like you're safe because the gudgeon straps get to extend more or less straight without any sharp bends to make a weak point. On the 20s the stern post is less than two inches (not looking at it right now) and the straps have to make a compound bend and wrap around the hull on either side. That bend is what weakens the straps.
