I think FMS does this more with the reasoning that it doesnt hurt to do it and it is a very simple an easy mod to do when the engine is being built so why not, they don't say it must be done, as you say a good engine should be fine in the first place i believe this was done at Mountune back in the day when running the works engines so IF that is true then they done it for a reason, precautionary measures never hurt
