Personally, I doubt it.....cause it sounds like this is your first time with something like this and there will be some filler involved. Watch the top of yer hood as ya drive down the road...see it "vibrating"?
That "resonation" will crack out the filler...but not the weld itself per say.
It's one thing to weld in the panel with gas or TIG and metal finish it and another to tack in with a MIG and use alot of filler to smooth things out....

I would seriously doubt that by stitch welding the whole piece it would become brittle enough to crack out....

The filler cracking....not the weld itself....and the filler will most likely start cracking along the edge of the weld, where the vibration of a large, flat sheet of metal, will migrate across hood and stop at the weld seem of the scoop.
I agree with ya though...that if properly done..there shouldn't be an issue.
