From a safety standpoint? Yes.

Can you imagine the devastation of your transmission dropping on the interstate?

Every time you enter a gear you're shifting stress onto a different set of teeth. If you miss those teeth you're adding instant acute stress which causes jerking etc.

Did I drive with only 2 bolts in mine for a long time, ripping gears? yes.

Would I recommend it? Obviously no. The risk to the car and your life is too great.

The auto cross member if I recall correctly, would only allow 2 bolts on either side to be mounted. From what he's describing, both front bolts are mounted.
