I like the location but like you I would have a misgiving about the rubber. Even though the bolts go thru to the frame they could still flex thru the rubber and maybe shear or bend enough to cause the anchor to fail. The existing bolts are a bit small too as I believe most belt places recommend a 7/16" or 1/2" high strength bolt on the anchors.

I don't remember if there is an accessible nut in that location or if the bolt screws into a capture nut welded to the frame. If the nut was accessible and removable you could enlarge the frame hole for a larger bolt and eliminate the rubber at the same time in that one body mount. Use solid steel spacers above and below similar to those the convertibles used plus a high strength bolt that goes thru the frame.

If something like that is too big a project then it might be better to move it away.
