Are those plates that bolt to the carb flange of the intake manifold safe and apropriate?

Perfectly safe! Gearheads have been using them for the last 5 decades without issues. Unless you're lifting over 4,000 lbs. you have nothing to worry about. Just be sure to use good quality hardware and properly secure everything.

Mustangs Plus tested one of these lift plates to the point of failure and found that it took 4,000 lbs of force before the plate began to deform, and almost 4,500 lbs before failure, so that means you have a healthy safety margin with a 500-600 pound Cleveland.

Here's a link to the test:
