Yes my front brace is very similar except I did not pick up the gearbox - Audi abviously recognised this area as needing strengthening since they braced it on the B5 platform from the factory, albeit with a pretty flimsy bar and two brackets to lock the subframe down.
The yank tank aftermarlket has loads of these kind of products as their motors make ours look positively stiff

Im toying with the idea of putting a brace in the front and now pos one in the reat when i do my engine swap.
My question is, when welding the brackets to the body does it not melt the top mounts??

I dropped the strut down a couple of inches and stuffed the void with wet socks (and watered them periodically), no melting issues. You can get the front struts way down, enough to change the top mounts in situ (with spring compressors(or without on lowering springs)) plus top mounts are normally shot so just change them.
