Is this an okay way to mount gantry to linear bearings?

If the parts are made as rigid as they should be the weight will be centred even if the vertical plate carrying it is not.

I think I'd be more inclined to use more smaller fasteners instead of 3 M8's, that way you should get a more evenly distributed/less distorted and stronger join between the parts.
I'd probably go for a row of M5, or maybe M6.

I'll put some thought into that. My thinking for 3 m8 was as an adjustment/shimming point when I get to tramming stage, but I think you're right. Thanks.

I was initially looking to bolt gantry end panel into side of a 20mm plate on the bearings, but I didn't feel comfy with it.
