I suspect that this brazing is ideal only in the sense that it is
easy to do and may look neat. Truth is that if you want to retain
the original strength of the car the floor pans must be properly seam
welded in. Spot welds or plug welds can then be used where the
factory originaly spot welded eg. sills and other full, non-repair
panels.
Hope this helps,
