I hate surprises....

Agreed. IMO, as long as there are no major rust issues, anything can be repaired.

My car had the same crack on the tunnel among many others. I tried to make patches for all of them but found it easier to cut out a section of the floor pan and weld it in. When the metal splits it is fatigued and if it has been there for a while it rusts and thins the metal. I am going to add a reinforcing piece to the ones I did weld just as a precaution. I am also considering some subframe connectors, the type that supports the seat.
