The sound proofing/ heat barrier made a big difference for me as it will for you. I now know how crappy those sound bar speakers really are!
Been taking it out regularly. No issues, knock on wood.
I did the trailing arms this past summer. I sent them out to Bairs and they back came looking new. Good folks to deal with. The removal and install wasn't that bad. The pivot bolt came right out and the mount pockets looked great. I went back with rubber bushings, the stories about the polys failing shied me away.

Eta If you haven't done the mod for slotted shims and adjustable strut rods, now is the time to do it. Makes everything so much easier. Your alignment guy will hug you
