As for the bulkhead, it is certainly not needed but there are benefits to ease of harness layout and obviously removing the motor. You also have the choice to splitting the injector harness and ignition harness into sub harnesses with DT connectors (cheap) to make your life a little easier when removing the engine.
I like doing my best to future proof a harness. As example I have spare I/O inside the cab of the car and also the engine bay. I also have pre-terminated connectors for drive by wire throttle control in the engine bay and near the pedal cluster for the future.

That’s a solid point about future-proofing. I’ve already got DBW in the car, but since I don’t know what I might add down the line, I kept all the extra wires in the harness as spares. They’re tucked away in the engine bay. Some folks suggested removing them, but honestly, I don’t see the benefit—adding them later would be a pain. I've already used a few adding oil pressure and oil temperature sensors to the ECU and then using the ECU to drive the stock oil pressure gauge, oil temperature gauge and oil pressure light.
On the topic of injector and ignition harnesses, you're right, I should’ve split them into sub-harnesses. I had to extend the driver’s side anyway, so using DT connectors and dividing the harness left and right would’ve been a smarter move.
