Yes, you are missing something
Your itinerary is valid (in particular, there is no restriction on the number of trans-continental flights like there is on the xONEx, and so your BOS-SFO-BOS segments are OK)
BUT the xGlobx restricts the number of
stopovers in a region to
four
I suspect you're wanting five in Nth America (BOS, MIA, BOS again, SFO, and BOS yet again)
If you change one of your trans-continental flights to have a connection (say SFO-DFW-BOS) then you'd have a valid xONE4 (and in general xONE4 tickets have the same base fare as the xGLOB34 from the same starting point).
And you could then make full use of the allowed 16 segments (no total mileage restriction on an xONEx): more stopovers in Asia at the start perhaps, or stopovers in Europe at the finish
