Correct. Shear maximum at beam ends, and bending moment maximum at middle - this is for a simply supported uniformly loaded beam. The notched beam still has to carry the shear. For short highly loaded beams the shear can govern the choice of the beam size, although most beams are long...

Sharing some general comments, although probably too late. The torsion on the beam due to the eccentricity is not just about the torsional stiffness of the beam but also the rotational stiffness of the supports. If the beam is really stiff but not restrained at the supports against twisting...
