Nice sticks. Nice packability. What is the final weight 2x

Glad it was low level while testing! I asked a pro welder about doing some sticks and the design he felt comfortable with was only welds without any bolts involved. The bolts generate forces that the tubing can handle in general, but there is weakness introduced by the welds in the same area.

I dont think you have a welding problem. The hole in the tubing is acting as a stress concentration and taking all the load of step (diverting all that force around the hole in tubing). If your "insert block" was "L" shaped and went up into the tube and had the hole in the solid block, like you suggested, you might solve your problem.I think that’s a good point, I’m going to look at reinforcing the inside of the tube and eliminating the weld at the same time.
