I am concerned that rebar might not be able to stand up tho as it isn't constructed of high grade steel.

I'm told that the
steel in rebar doesn't take welding well, it gets brittle, so a triangular
truss wouldn't give a nice stiff post either.
Some rebar is speced for welding.
I have never had a problem with welding rebar, but it was not for anything that needed high strength.
