thanks for the extra pics. Agree with your reasoning on keeping the braces.@shaloot idk if that brace on car is removable (optional to use)but mine isn’t using it; but down pipe is not budging at all. Just tried to shake it and it’s pretty solid in place. I liked the ETS kit because turbo does sit lower, I’ve seen folks say KLM can rub on hood or doesn’t allow braces to be used.
that downpipe support bracket seems like it’s in a weird spot, but I haven’t really looked at mine closely as it’s still stock DP. I assumed that bracket is supposed to bolt up to the factory location. Most full frame kits don’t use it so I’m sure you’re fine, I just would think the less support points means it’s more weight constantly pulling on the exhaust manifold studs or stressing other connection points.

edit: these are 2 diff pics of 2 different products. Top is stock DP to show where it attaches, bottom is an example of a stock DP replacement
