I would suggest it, I tried it without for a while and noticed the holes starting to oval in the post. I added bushings to all of mine.

The cam is key. You can't get it tight enough with a versa button or cleat. I think with a ratchet strap, you could do it, but most people don't like the ratchet noise.Would a cleat or versa button and strap work on the XOP style platforms? Or do they need to me cammed to keep from pulling away from the tree?

Ernie, I was looking at the small cleats FYI if you happened to be looking at the cheaper cleats I found. Lol. The mediums are around $30. LolI have been looking at them on Amazon much cheaper than $30
Yep, they are 10-24. I tried to use the muddy cleat, but you will notice that if you remove a set that the post is special machined with a curved slot.
It took me forever to find a set of cleats on a base.
I'm going to go buy a couple more today and I'll post a picture. I wish they were cheaper, ($30) but pay once, cry once.....
The nuts are inside the post, but that required me to drill a pretty large hole to use a socket.
I hope to find some longer bolts to be able to put the nut on the other side
