The clearcoat on it isn't very durable and has worn out in a few places.
The center front is not supported by anything. The back has a long metal bar that secures to the wood. So, the front center begins to sag a little, I'd say like 1/8", if any kind of weight is routinely placed on that location. Also since the back has that metal piece it's not possible to clamp anything to it. No monitor clamp, etc. You must clamp those to the sides.
Unless you're going to use it as a standing desk you'll probably wind up letting the legs go all the way down, even past the last notch. At this height it is 28" to the table top.

If you're up to it, I'd like to tell you how I fixed this. I've been using a regular 4x8 3/4" pine sheet for over 5 years now with no sag. The same method I describe can be used here:
I set my Dewalt router up with a 1/8" bit, on a guide rail about 2 inches in from the edge of the wood. I have the depth set to about 3/8". I then router a straight line almost from edge to edge, about 2 inches from either end. Then I set the guide rail another half inch in, and make a perfectly parallel cut next to the first. I now have two parallel grooves, perfect for... C-channel steel! I then laid the steel into the grooves. Finally, I use the pre-cut holes in the C-channel for screws to secure it into the wood. Your wood table is now reinforced with steel and will never sag.

The Husky have a long metal cross-member that runs between the legs at a low position which I found annoying so I don't use them. Fine for a desk that isn't being shook back and forth laterally. Still feels very solid. The Husky also has a piece of metal frame running between the legs right under the bench top... so there is no mounting a drawer and you'll also need extra room for your legs to clear when seated (not really an issue for my body and preferred desk height).
Overall I prefer the Gladiator benches for the thicker top, lack of front frame piece and rear cross-member, deeper top, and more solid look.

Any structure issue if you simply not install the back plate? What about lowering it and only screw it to the lower hole?

Your other idea would be better, although it is bolted to the wood all the way across the plate. You'd also need to drill a second hole because you'd want a minimum of the 4 legs bolts. Some have mentioned sagging, but it might depend on the weight you put on the surface. The wood is very substantial/thick.
