They are strong enough. Main concern is usually the V banded elbows holding the turbo weight. I normally just get a piece of flat stock, drill a hole in each end, bolt it to the turbo flange and then to the head, frame, whatever. That way it's not a welded brace. Quick, cheap, easy.

Got a pic of this? Wondering if angle stock would add a little more if it's even needed. I'm using a stock truck mani that has a short vband elbow.
Sorry OP, not really a hijack attempt...

I've been guilty in the past for using stainless shelf brackets as turbo bracing. I'll just drill out one of the holes and bolt it to the turbo flange, and then bolt it to the head/block/frame/body/accessories.
Doesn't have to be anything fancy. Just something somewhat rigid from Flange to Point B.
