I would think about adding two braces on the long side from the center of the top rails down to the bottom corners of the frame on both sides preventing any possible sag from the weight and heat of those burners acting on the top frame rails. A giant "A" frame bracing to spread the pressure onto the legs at the intersection of the bottom horizontal rails. Well you didn't go with 2"x2" by 1/4" thick box tube so you can to support a 30,000 pound bus. Even with all three keggles filled to 15 gallons plus the keggles weight, plumbing, burners, propane tank and pump your around 550 pounds max and when will all three keggles ever be filled at once with 15 gallons? Not going to happen. That added "A" bracing then you should have no worries at all plus gusseting the corners would increase the frames strength preventing twisting and flexing under heavy loads another consideration to think about. JMO's without having a bare frame that weighs 400 pounds alone.
Looks really nice, I would think you would need at least one pump. I'm sure you have it already. Cool and quick setup.

I have been looking for a stand like that. YES! I will just put the boil kettle on the buner on the ground and use gravity from my MLT. Thanks for the inspiration. Saves me a lot of time
EDIT: The link to the burner stand is bad . I want that burner stand but cant find it!!

out of curiosity, what do people think about this as an option?
I'm not sure that it's sturdy enough...
For the price and what your getting that 3 burner stand allows you something to work with I would call this a good buy. It just needs a few modifications for our brewing needs to handle keg weight plus the added insulated keg width.
I like it being 3 burner but it's only 48" wide. The kegs will hang over the ends even when against each other, not a good thing. I would add some matching angle iron material and extend the frame longer allowing for the kegs even with added insulation to fit on the frame then relocating the burners to center under the kegs.
Add some bracing down lower where the leg extensions stubs end on the frame with horizontal bracing. Check to see if a "V" bracing is needed from center of this lower brace to under the top frame rail ends. I would weld tabs with a 1/4" hole a couple inches up from the ground on the legs allowing for a flat "X" cross bracing between the legs to prevent any spreading of the outward angled legs under the extra weight of filled kegs. This "X" bracing only needs to be flat stock something like 1/8" x 1" wide assembled with 1/4-20 bolts with wing nuts allowing for easy quick hand breakdown to transport or storage. JMO's on this 3 burner frame and what I woiuld do to it.
