Yep. Just drill slowly so that you don't overheat the Lexan. Use flat-head machine screws and countersink the holes so that the screws are flush with the top of the Lexan.

Surprisingly, hinges can actually make for a good corner brace as well. I have used hinges as braces on corner joints that weren't hinged!

Of course one sticking point in the hinge plan is the monitor arm I'm planning to attach at the back of the desk.....

Unless the monitor arm needs to be mounted to a horizontal surface. I was envisioning something with a fixed back panel/support leg/whatever, with the hinges attached to it to be able to tilt up the table. You could even have the very forward part of the table top (maybe 3 inches or so) be horizontal, and attach the hinges there for the table top. Part of the idea of the hinged table is that it would allow for walking on the treadmill without the table being in the way.

Or am I over-engineering this?

For Desk v1.0 probably. But for desk v2.0 or v3.0 definitely not. Keep them ideas rolling....

Looking at the space I have to put this in, there is a bookshelf I was planning to move out of the way. However I might just leave it there and use it as a somewhat oversized monitor stand. Which would make the hinge plan work fairly well....
