I’m sure the chances of it cracking are slim but it can’t hurt to remove the sharp edges and the sharp dip in the fracture. The engineers added those stiffening ribs for a reason, so at least if it were mine I would spend a little time there just for peace of mind.

Adding JB Weld isn’t necessary nor would it add back any strength to that stiffening rib.

Run it.
Exactly. That small section missing isn't going to hurt anything.
