When I raced, the rule of thumb was that if it was rubber and touched the engine, it got replaced when the engine came out (within reason). So all coolant hoses, rubber fuel lines (back in the day), motor mounts in your case (as suggested), belts, etc. I'd also replaced the WP and Thermostat but I did all the work myself so that's a different ball game. Now, if you can get the place that is replacing your motor to discount some of the labor for installing these parts, then do it. I might be inclined to do the belt tensioners too.
Sorry about your situation.
BTW: if the insurance company wants to put a junkyard motor in the car, can you get them to pay for the shop to swap in some new bearings at least? It's for their own protection, really...
