In the plastic, an insert would be more durable, but then again it would be
another part you'd have to stock, rather than print.
I was referring to the plastic. A PEM fastener would do the same job in
metal. #6-32 heat set inserts are very cheap, even on Amazon. (less than
$20 for 100 of them)

Anyway,
the original is bent bar stock, with notching near the apex, and a
nut press-fit/spot welded where I've drawn an indent. I've drawn it as a
triangular plastic block in an effort to make it more structural.
I wonder if a heat-set insert would allow you to replicate the original
design...
