As much as I agree that they're not a good idea with a proper FIA seat, they're the rules on a non-FIA setup.
If tech catches you with something as blatantly uncool as plastic fasteners, they're likely to tear your car apart looking for anything else they can find, IF they let you fix that without just telling you to put it on the trailer.
I will tell you the back brace has saved my butt before. I went off once and went airborne over some curbing. the seat was through-bolted through the floor of the car, and the contact with the curb sheared all the bolts off the bottom of the seat. the only thing hold in me in place was the back brace and the seatbelt. Had the back brace not been there, I would have been sitting on top of the fuel cell in the rear hatch.
