Seeking advice on table legs

Hi

Been working on this table for a friend - maple and wenge top, with wenge and meranti skirt. Planning on doing the legs with 25mm European oak boards.

First question is whether the "basic" option for legs works:

Current plan is to screw the legs into the inside corners of the skirt level with the skirt, and then the top would sit on the legs and skirt together and be fastened to the skirt.

Is that strong/stable enough? Wondering about lateral forces or twisting. Or would I want braces between the legs?

Struggling to think of another way (other than straight boring posts) to do the legs with what I have? The overall style is a little bit confused at the moment - part classic, part rustic
