Just how necessary is it for these to be rubber as original to still have a comfortable ride?
I’ve seen and heard many conflicting opinions on this and would love to hear some more.

Going through some of these upgrades right now. I was advised by a reputable shop here in LA with my larger torsion bars, adjustable sways, upgraded struts and the other bits going into my suspension refresh, to go with new rubber bushings. I was told the ride will already be stiffer with the new components and switching out the rubber bushings would really make the car uncomfortable to drive on public roads.
While I can't confirm this is the case, it definitely seems the bushings have a considerable effect as this was the only component I was "warned" about changing when it came to maintaining some level of ride comfort.
