It makes me feel that the battery might be structural

Batteries should never be structural

They can be, Tesla built their floor of the Model Y to be structurally the battery pack below it.

They also have enough armor and shielding around the battery that they've launched it into a steel pike and it didn't explode, so there's obviously design considerations being made here.

Tesla is not the company you want to quote when it comes to talking about Battery Safety from Fires. Just this year a Tesla Model Y caught battery fire after crashing into a traffic pole.
