It won't be as strong as a mortise and tenon joint because there is relatively less gluing face area, so the strain forces will be less distributed, but it will be still strong as it resists racking in all directions because of it's cylindrical shape. Using it at both ends of a stretcher would be fine.
Great question. Yes a dowel would be easier if you have the right size. But there are times where this is a better option such as chair legs. One of the things I love about woodworking is there is not just one way of doing anything. Many options work and work well.

I think you’re right. Appreciate the comment.
As it is circle why not using a dowel instead? Would be easier

I got your point. Thank you 🙏
