I am far from an expert on these things but,.. this is my understanding of the subject.
Gear drive Quietline tractors use a flexible 3 pin driver which is prone to fail. When people switch to a solid 3 or 6 pin driver, whether as a repair or when building a pulling tractor, they also switch to solid motor mounts. This helps to ensure proper clutch alignment, operation and reduces wear.
There are no such issues with a hydro Quietline. Especially considering many have 14 and 16 HP engines, the rubber mounts are probably the best solution to help reduce the transmission of vibration from these larger power plants to the tractor frame and operator.
