If you look at the design of the CHE brackets -- those don't require welding at all because they're boxed over the flange and help to reinforce the LCA flange. The other brackets are recommended to go with welding because there's a very slim possibility of the wheel hitting something and the bracket getting forced around because it doesn't have a reinforced box design.
There was one horror story with pics of a bent out of shape LCA flange at TMS on a bracket that wasn't welded in place, but there's been a fair amount of skepticism about how likely the scenario was to cause the issue.
