.yes.
I'd rather it hit someone else instead of impale impale into the back of my head.
If it breaks the mounts, turns sideways, flies over two rows of seats and hits me in the head im sure that will be the least of my worries. Hopefully I'll never be in that crash.
If I'm doing a harder trail where im off camber and rocking back and forth it usually gets bolted to the ARB

mine only comes with me when I'm wheeling, otherwise I cant fit in my garage with it mounted.

To give a little follow-up. Spent the weekend in Moab. Tire carrier is holding up just fine. Does well on the washboard. Never came loose, no rattles. Tire doesn't rub where the bolts stick out the bottom of the wheel well. My oversized wheel chock worked great. I didn't get a flat so I didn't have to take the spare off and deal with it, but when the time comes I think it'll be non issue. Plan is to buy Slee's mighty mount dealio.
How is this setup holding up? I'm thinking about fabbing something up using a bronco interior mounts.
