I'd vee the tab and TIG braze with silicon bronze or other non-fuming
bronze rod. It's easy to do, requires no pre/post heat, and will put
very little heat into the head.

Or drill a hole in the middle of the tab and plug braze it (can you do
that?).

There's certainly lots of surface area there if you could get something
that'd bond across the whole face where the tab and head mate.

Do you need to implement control loops in software?
"Applied Control Theory for Embedded Systems" was written for you.
