Ron/All,
Information is listed in the wish list section, though it's not necessarily a wish item for existing owners.
An idea for a simple design change is to add a bar to protect cables and circuit board. The bar also doubles as a handling arm. The bar shown is a cabinet pull.
Design intent: The bar reduces potential component damage. On a floor, it's easy to step on, drop an object or kick cables at the rear potentially breaking the circuit board or connectors. You can conveniently secure connector(s)/cable(s) to the bar.
The bar cost about 10.00 (I picked up a 3 pack for <30.00 on amazon). Link: https://amzn.to/3PV549G .The length of the bar is 18" on center. The handle is constructed of ~ 1/2" square tubing. For DIYer, remove 8 screws to remove the GT top. Drill two holes 18" on center placing the bar on the rear of the aluminum case. Reassemble. Modification time is 30-60 minutes. Tools needed: screwdriver, drill and bit. The bar does not interfere with any connectors including the 7 pin XLR

. As an ME like you, from a manufacturing end, it could change the box size and any preformed packaging material. I suppose a thread insert or rivet nut could be used like you have on the bottom of the board. Then a handle could be added easily from the outside using a slightly modified handle with holes at any point...that requires a new designed bar though. ...not like you have any other projects going on lol.
