I'm new to growing but I've done a ton of research and people grow in 10 gallon buckets without issues as long as you use perlite or something similar to help with drainage.

You already seem to have the basic idea.https://www.rollitup.org/subcools-old-school-organics/542308-main-lining-thread.html
