Maybe, depending on the build design, but I do not trust glass desks.

Honestly the monitors should be well under 30 pounds. (more like 15 or less)  I have a desk with similar the same thickness, 4 legs and all with a like 60x25 design and it has been able to hold 40+-odd Pounds for years. You should be fine, but make sure to check the manual for the max supported/reccomened weight, your mileage may vary.

I am NOT a professional and a lot of the time what I'm saying is based on limited knowledge and experience. I'm going to be incorrect at times.

I think it would be ok.

 

Something that can help reduce chances of breaking is if you put stuff on top of a metal or wood square that has some thin soft foam underneath.

This would spread the load out over the whole surface of the square and then tranfer it evenly to the table through the foam.
