Stewart,

Marstrom has beam bolts on his A Class and there is no discernible difference in platform stiffness between his boat and a fully glued A Class.

Why is this so? Because the hull to beam joint is very, very good and the hull is very stiff around the beam landing, plus the beam is super stiff with no free play in the beam bolt holes etc.

This is all aided in no small way by the high quality construction...
