Re-drilling the holes after welding is good. There will always be selection/warping from welding - making the holes bigger in CAD makes it more likely to create misalignment.

Using a bolt for alignment can allow a little slop from the threads, so the movement during welding put it out of spec, which could happen even worse if they were cut oversized. Drilling after the weld ensures the hole is consistent all the way through, so it won't bind the bolt threads.

Attach the pedal to the flywheel with a rope (or metal cord). Then it can only pull and not push, so the pedal can't crush your foot. And you won't trigger people by using your bearing housing or putting a bearing next to a nut.

He did bushings and shoulder bolts on part of the pedal assembly, which seems like it would be a better way of doing of doing the pedal linkage. It also would be a lot easier to assembly than 4x bolts per bearing, plus a bunch of nuts on a M12 bolt. A shoulder bolt with some plastic (or even better, sintered bronze) bushings, then some spacers that are just simple hollow cylinders to center it on the shoulder bolts. No more needing to thread a bunch of nylon-insert lock nuts down 75mm on bolt.

4:44 "Should press in nicely here" *hammers them in with a wrench* "That's perfect"

It'll be interesting how that linkage will hold up over time. That's a lot of force being put onto the edge of the threads which have a very small surface area. Best replace it sooner rather than later. Also, bringing in the clutch design from the MMX would help a lot with safety too. You want to pedal the flywheel, don't let it pedal you.

Don't worry about the too-tight tolerances. It's easier to correct for that (e.g. by re-drilling the holes when things shifted slightly) than to correct for too-loose tolerances if the entire thing goes together slightly wonky because of slop in the way things fit together.

For the link on the pedal, you should look to use needle bearings instead of ball bearings. Needle bearings have more surface area to spread the load inside the bearing and are always used in machinery for this kind application over ball bearings. Ball bearings are meant for rotation, using them in this swinging motion will cause the balls to damage the inner grooves which can bind them up over time which you can actually feel in your pedal
