I have been using a cable through the flex pod opening and the windows for the last week but I've just felt like it was too easy to cut through. However I do wonder about maybe getting some large diameter chain and running it as you propose to act as a fairly noticeable deterrent. The bike lock definitely isn't noticeable.

Visible deterrent is better. If they can’t see that it is secured then it might get damaged if they think it is just stuck and try to muscle it off

I would go with a bigger backing plate as well. And trim off the excess bolt before you accidentally scalp yourself. Or at least put a cap nut on there
