I think the tube should hold, but I'd definitely pin the valve at three points, Disco style, and upgraded to 10-32 screws

The tube should be fine, providing the roll-stamp isn't punched way too deep.... Three 8-32 screws tapped into the valve as per the Disco are fine for 2000 psi, so as long as you protect the gun with a 1.8K burst disc you should be fine....
