I would definitely add bracing, or at least some hefty metal brackets on the undersides of the joins so they're not very noticeable.
Re the warped plank, you've not told us how much it's warped or how thick it is, but most likely it'll be fine when the bolts are done up. If the warping is more severe then it may not do up, or the result may be an out of line guard assembly.

I'm in two minds about bracing. The triple rail at the top will help to
stop the faces become parallelograms. A couple of screws into the walls
would make a lot of difference, at the expense of mobility (wall plugs
if solid, or make sure you find the studs if plasterboard).They would
need to be larger brackets, the standard L shaped corner brackets made
from 2.5 mm steel wouldn't do much. A sheet of hardboard on the outside
over the two main spaces against the wall might be another option. As I
said before, look out for it becoming wobbly and then tighten it up.
