If you have the spare change, I would go ahead and order the mount stops to replace. I think it’s better to replace, only because you can avoid doing the same job twice.
(I removed the transmission mount bracketry three times this year and the teadiousness got old.)

Have you considered a polyurethane transmission mount insert by Function First? I used their mildest insert, the orange one, and liked its effect during shifting. There is a very noticeable increase in NVH, so it may be unacceptable to you.
If you get a mount insert, you won’t need to use those mount stops.

No, these inserts will fill the voids of your transmission mount, and additionally eliminate your mount stops.
The only scenario where you won’t need the transmission mount replacement tool is if your transmission mount is not torn. The AGA tool is fantastic, it makes the job really easy. Be sure to have some grease or anti-seize handy to ease with mount installation.
I just realized autocross is subject to class rules, and I have no idea if these inserts are in violation. So, it’s probably safer if you don’t install them.
Yes, you’ll need two mount stops for each car.
My apologies for being unclear about all this. Let me know if I need to explain further.
