I would like to slightly modify my position after talking to an engineer friend of mine to say that 2 sets of mounts should be sufficient for an engine/transaxle setup. When I think about all the longitudinal engine/trans setups I've ever seen have one pair of mounts for the engine and one pair of mounts for the trans.

So some manufactures have moved Porsche transaxle mounts from the tail end to the bell housing area. This shouldn't really be much different in terms of loading when you look at moment arms etc.
