Perhaps the OP's situation is different, but I just installed Vibra-Technics street compound engine mounts on my own car, so after seeing this I'll be watching them carefully and not using launch control. I just thought I'd share my own experience in case it's relevant for the OP.
Never launched the car in my life. No trackdays during the time I've had the VT mounts either. At most 2-3 hill runs and that's it. My stock mounts survived several trackdays in the 28k miles I had them.
