IMHO I would add gussets to all intersection points. It is probable that you will get flexure of the tube at those intersection points. This may lead to a fatigue failure of the tube. You could also add a brace parallel to the axis of the 2 inner pivots and as close to them as clearance will allow, smaller gusseting could then be used.
