If I remember rightly (it’s been a while) both ends of the box were capped off with plates and the back plate was bonded to the door skin, then after the skin was folded back over the bottom, the whole thing was seam sealed. Without over engineering it, I think that’s about as good as it can be?
I think he’s saying, the water that gets in through the likes of window runners, (this is how the problem occurs to start with) can’t get out, no drain holes, what size box section is it you used?
If you buy the correct channel for the door repair, as I have done, the channel has vents built in so that it can drain as the originals should. There is a flat back piece which goes against the skin and a box section as original attached to it, with the built in drain channels. If done correctly and sealed to prevent steel contact against the aluminium skin, the repair should be as original or better. I would not use square box section as here , see "Paintman Panels - Land rover Series Bottom door repair section".
Great video, what would have been good is to see how you did the insert into the rest of the steel frame

They might have considered doing this in the factory. 😄
What happens to the water that gets in ?
