Planet with 4 major moons, Habitable?

I designed my Kepler Bb planet to have 4 major moons. They each have a differing trajectory and are in resonant orbits for stabilization. I also designed the planet to have earth gravity but be bigger than earth.

Planet characteristics:

Mass = 4 earth masses

Radius = 4 earth radii

Gravity = 1g

This should be possible since if you increase it by 1 earth radius per earth mass, you should get the same density in all layers as earth. The core has minute dark energy in case it isn't possible via mass and radius alone. The dark energy isn't enough to rip the planet apart but it is enough to keep the gravity at a certain amount(in this case 1g).

Now why earth gravity? Well the hill sphere is only dependent on radius(it is the orbit that is gravity dependent). Plus earth gravity is the best for humanoid, carbon based lifeforms that live mostly underground(which my Kepler Bb humanoids are).

So anyway, it has 4 major moons. I know it would lead to very complex tide cycles that would lead to high tide at the same time in multiple places, more than 2 spring tides or neap tides etc. But what I am asking is whether this is habitable or not because I am concerned that the tidal forces of 4 major moons would be enough to break the planet into planetoids or at least make the planet more like Venus than Earth in terms of climate. These planetoids could crash into other planets with great force which is another concern since planetoids are much bigger than asteroids or meteroids, both of which can crash into a planet with a lot of force. And while yes the high tech Kepler B# people have been able to withstand every mass extinction so far, a planetoid might just be enough to kill off the species and I don't want that to happen since that is the same species as the people on Kepler Bb.

So would a planet like Kepler Bb be able to have 4 major moons in resonant orbits and not break into planetoids or be exposed to lava every second and kill off all lifeforms and become a Venus analog?
