Call it overkill of you want, but here's my phase two of Hipshot madness:
I removed the felt from underneath it and cleaned off the adhesive with WD40 (which I cleaned off with degreaser). I then drilled and countersunk two holes in the front edge of the base plate and then drilled and countersunk (to avoid finish chipping) the holes in the body and threaded in the screws with some wax on the threads. I also relocated the strap button to the bass side stabilizer hole since I use Dunlop strap locks and the bar sometimes hits them. I must say it is dead stable with this setup and doesn't have the flexing like before, but I'd imagine this would have been more useful for those with G-levers and other doodads. Peace of mind for free, and the unit isn't leaving this guitar any time soon/ever.
