Not likely to have any structural fatigue issues since the fuselage is bearing the load. What I see wrong with the concept for a passenger version of the flying wing is turbulence. You’ll be bouncing around in that thing like a tennis ball with no flex to absorb the loads.

I envision foamy rubber floors on huge rubber dampers then

Or shock absorbers on every row of seats

Flight attendants will really enjoy this

Good point. In a conventional aircraft the wings absorb much of the turbulence like a dampening spring which reduces the turbulence experienced by passengers in the fuselage.
