Threading steel rod into the copper would increase the load bearing capacity ( but could make soldering difficult if the steel absorbed too much heat )

Or brass munson rings.
I used Muson rings and brass school board rings foir the shelf.
For the seat top I have tried out 10 x 40mm coach bolts through the pipe which is very solid
Drilling through the copper pipe will weaken it though.
Yes but only drilling through the cross pieces at the top and the weight of the seat will be taken in 4 corners by the legs.
I thought saddle clips looged a bit too flimsy.
Munsen rings don't tighten right up on the threaded part (as far as I know) and school board clips don't often fully grip the pipe.
If the bolts don't work, I'll replace the cross pieces and use one of the above though
Use thread sealant on the threads of the munson rings to glue them in the position you want.
You could use this, instead of soldering the fittings...
My mate installed a boiler using it and said it worked fine!
