My auto start stop on my 3.6 e-torque is so smooth that I wouldn't need one, but I get why people would want one.

Agreed. The 3.6 eTorque is very smooth. The biggest issue is on a hot day at a long light, it starts getting a little stuffy when the AC compressor turns off with the engine but that's really nit-picking.

My engine does not stop if the AC is running. I never turn the stop start off and I don't really notice it.

why do you want to disable it?

I got one on my 2021 Rubicon with eTorque. Works well.

Not a fan of the engine constantly stopping and starting... for longevity sake. That, and I find it irritating.
Tazer was my solution.

My guess is that your Jeep is not an eTorque.

I am 100% not a fan of the auto start/stop feature that utilizes the starter motor to fire up the engine, and especially as it set up on the JL with a second smaller battery. In every car I have owned with that feature I always set it to off. If my JL was not eTorque equipped I would disable the auto start/stop for sure
That said the eTorque set up is different in that it uses the BSG to restart the motor and the experience is seamless, in fact I never even really notice it any more. There is no starter motor involved so no starter motor sounds, and it reengages faster than I can take my foot off the gas and push the go pedal.
Give that I have made no effort to disable it.

Devices like the auto stop eliminators and the Tazer effectively do two things as it relates to ESS:
The first is they remember the state that the ESS button was in when the vehicle was last parked, and if that button was engaged (i.e. ESS was turned off via operator button push) they issue the CANBUS commands that form the programming equivalent of you pressing that button the next time you cold crank.
Stellantis isn't allowed to have the ESS button remember its state from cold crank to cold crank. If it did it would not meet the EPA requirements for such buttons to be non-latching and default to an ESS on condition at cold crank, and Stellantis could not report the more favorable MPG ratings achieved that form the average MPGs with that button on and off, on both Mulroney stickers and to the EPA for fleet CAFE mileage standards.
The fact that different JL Wranglers implement ESS differently (e.g. dual AGM battery JLs, Etorque 48V battery JLs) is pretty much not "on the radar" of any of these devices: their job being to just send the programming CANBUS messages that form the equivalent of pressing the ESS button (if was pressed at last park), whereafter the specific JL the owner has implements ESS as that model is designed to do.

It is.
And yes, it restarts incredibly smoothly, I just prefer it to stay running.

3.6 etorque,
While stopped waiting in awful traffic I needed to gun it! I did but the engine needed to re start, I barely made it avoiding an accident, my heart skipped a few times. I got flipped off in several different languages.
I know, I should have remembered to push the button, I only had my jeep a few months and there was a line of cars behind me blowing their horns, I was stressed ok, I forgot.
Start/eliminator worth every penny to me.
To each their own.
