Those loops are more than strong enough and how well they hold is going to depend entirely on his welding. If his welding and tie in on the bumper itself is good enough to pull from those loops are more than good enough.
Go look under most any car. The tow points for tow trucks on most are 1/4 as thick as those and just welded to 1/8" plate.

It looks like the top of the hook is nearly touching the bumper, why not weld it there and make it a loop lol.
Stock tow hooks on cars are small yes but they're also designed to pull cars out of ditches and up ramps, not to pull someone out of several feet of sticky mud lol. Though I'm sure that has happened, too, just a lot less often.
