Having been in 2 accidents where my cars were totaled and not my fault and not avoidable I want my airbags to work when needed. Quite a few aftermarket bumpers can compromise the airbag function.
As far as rear bumpers not surviving “coming down on a rock”, aren’t you bolting the after market bumper to the same frame/brackets that the factory bumper is bolted to? Seems like you’d have to create an entire mounting system tied into the frame for the after market bumper to not deflect. Guessing 5% of the Jeeps out there come down on a rock with the rear bumper.
I had the Garvin rear bumper on my 13’ Rubicon 2 door, it was kind of a PIA adding weight and making rear access annoying but it was still bolted to the factory brackets.
