It probably is overkill structurally, but I had some other thoughts around this.
For the face vise, I wanted some dog holes on the side of the bench so I can rest larger material on dogs and use the vise on the other end. The diagonal brace give me somewhat arbitrary positioning, increasing in height with length. I'll find out if this ends up being useful. So far I've only used the furthest and highest dog hole.
As for storage, I left the other side open just for that. Not sure exactly what that will look like yet. I'll probably add some combination of frequent tools on the vise side and drawers on the open side.
