Well you do'n the high horse power, sticky tires try'n to get the front tires off the ground drag racing turning 11's every weekend thing or just occasionally drop'n the hammer on the street with a mild build?
The first one is definitely yes and the second is like it's not a bad modification. I would not discourage it.
I'd do subframe connectors and a shock tower brace in a convertible at the very least.

It’s got subframe connectors its a street car mild build cam intake head work gears and it don’t hook up 1st or 2 nd I’m gonna put et streets on it I just don’t wanna break nothing if I do launch it over the winter I’m doing a cage and a full rebuild looking to make around 400 hp so I’m just kinda setting up for down the road while I don’t have any major issues with the frame and the web sit just said that the reinforcements weren’t recommended for a vert why I wasn’t sure I’m gonna do the tubular ones that bolt to the chassis and connect in the center

Yeah, well, I would call the manufacturer and talk to them, don't email, they may not understand you.
