Don't believe this is optional
Subaru claims the stock one doesn't do much and the plastic, yes plastic, will be fine. It's the most pitiful mount I've ever seen.
This thing is not just preventative, it's an absolute unit. There definitely is some NVH and with less torquing you will feel the Trans a bit more at lower speeds but is absolutely worth peace of mind. It's affordable and easy to install.
TMIC off and literally two bolts. No lift needed, no bracing anything (nothing is under tension) and about as DIY friendly as it gets.
3 out of 10 on difficulty for installing.
