I am not trying to suggest the guy above is mistaken, however literally millions of homes (Including Yours!) uses joist cavities without apparent issues. These are not a violation at this point in time... that said, you may be required to current code requirements if you modify the existing installation. Some would argue that waht you propose is not a modification of any consequence - simply you are re-fitting tye return cover. YMMV!

Marmoleum for floors. Resiliant, self-healing (to a point) available in a huge range of colors, can be inlaid/cut into really fantastic designs.

This does not address your question, but I'll make a suggestion. Lots of ways to trim out doors, and I'm not suggesting these specific moldings, but note how the head casing (your valance), aligns with the side casing and there is a fillet separating the head and side casing. As an alternate, consider a thicker head piece that overhangs the side casing and extends past it a bit less than what you have now. This shows a shorter head casing of 4 1/4". Proportions are important and using other than standard materials -- 1x4, 1x6 etc will often result in a better look.
