I look at this picture and have a hard time
believing that force being applied here
doesn’t far exceeds anything the transom
would experience going down the road.
That doesn’t mean I’m correct but it is what
I believe.

Yep, and a PO-15 is a regular torque monster at that! 😀
Come to think of it, how many outboards have you seen by the roadside with ripped off transoms attached to the clamp brackets? If the outboard is taking the transom with it, there was something wrong with the transom.
As mentioned previously, if you’re worried about the motor mounts, tie the motor down to the transom.
