the big challenge is fighting the internal stresses if you're using aero maneuvering. Basically fighting against the engine.

i'm fairly confident the vehicle itself can withstand the stress, a scramjet does not have many points of shearing failure

the stage linkage is a little more concerning tho

The weird stuff comes when you get things e.g. skin stress on the fuse, etc. A lot depends on materials. Composites can come apart.

Aeroelasticity is all about failures being in the least intuitive spots.
