PS and Transmission Cooler for 4EAT/SH Forester

Decommissioning our old Honda minivan in favour of a naturally aspirated 2010 Forester with the 4EAT transmission. Before I dispose of the old minivan, I was considering pulling out the Hayden 679 trans cooler and Derale inline thermostat I installed for towing, so that I'd have them around to install on the Forester.

But, from everything I see online, additional cooling isn't really needed with the 4EAT transmissions, and is mostly aimed at the CVT models. Does this change if I want to "push" the car a bit and do some light offroading or towing? Would a Hayden 679 + inline thermostat be overkill?

Also looking for similar input on PS cooling requirements. For my old Honda both coolers were a must, the PS pump and the torque converter produced tonnes of heat.

Thanks!
