That sounds reasonable to me.
By the same logic, if anyone chooses to fab up a mount regardless, it sounds like it needs to allow a little rotation because the pipe gauge isn't as heavy as OEM. A weld would struggle at that task because it doesn't give much. Something like an engine mount or exhaust hanger would be a better model.
Personally, I wouldn't bother. It sounds like they've given it thought and intentionally omitted the mount, so it's not like this was a clear oversight or blunder.
