Its a metal splash shield, not structural, but protects your oil pan and filter from getting hit by road debris, so essential.

Plastic fastener in vertical axis is strong and can absorb vibrations. A zip tie around a sharp metal edge will get cut through with vibrations starting a gouge which become a stress riser for fracture.

A metal shield dropping its front edge. Is going to cause a lot of issues if it catches on pavment.
