Normally, the limitation of the engine pods to acceleration forces is included in the g-loading limitation (usually close to the range [-2g, +4g]).
Also, it is true that the discussion above only considered gusts or windshear in the x and z axis (longitudinal and vertical)
and did not consider the effect of gusts in the lateral axis for which the plane also has structural limitation.
