Sounds alright.

Maybe it is better to use 0.8 mm thick steel for the combustion chamber and transition cone. Which means thicker material for hotter sections.

Small pulsejets can be made pretty much as thin as you can weld them, if its a flight engine thats going to get cooling. If not then go with heavy material.
