I would say it depends. No clue what you have in mind. Rule book says on an incomplete (max. 25%) weld, you need two 1.750 x 1.750 x .110 gussets per affected joint. "gussets may have a maximum of one 1/2" hole and two 5/16" holes." Or 3/4" tube gussets at least 4" long. If the joint is welded 100% and doesn't require a gusset per the spec, you can do whatever you want, cobwebs, designs, skeletonized, etc.
If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

If the joint is 100% welded and/or a gusset is not required by the spec you are building to, it should be OK. Otherwise, I would want a division tech director or the guy who will be doing the cert to tell me they're OK before I weld them in.
