I can't see that being a problem as it isn't structural. i can remember seeing minis driving around with out them on in the past.

Would a modern MOT tester even know how it was originally fitted?

It’s only the cavities on each and that you really need to worrying about and those are easily waxoiled from the inside of the boot if you drill a small hole and pop a plug in afterwards.

Is there no rust on the other two panels there?
When I did this job, I also had to replace part of the boot floor and the base of the rear panel as well.
As mentioned, the new panelwork lasts a long time as long as you keep waxoyling the area.
Good luck whichever course you go down

my personal thought is that if it isnt spot welded and only held with the 3 bumper bolts then you have a bigger gaps to collect water and have movement/rub etc. however a different option would be you glue/bond a fibreglass one on instead. then no rust.
