Can anybody see any downsides to doing it this way?

You'd have to weld the pins perfectly. I think there is prtty tight tolerance between the three dowell holes in the planetary gear assy.
I take it the pins coming out of the planetary gear assembly are slopping around in those 3 holes on the VCU?
I do think the idea to have some new dowell pins machined is the best bet. The inner part would and length would stay the same, but would expand out how ever much it would need to press fit the planetary assembly onto the VCU. Or if not press fit, at least tighter tolerance.
I don't see what could be bad about that. And I also don't know why it'd need oil t get in there.
