Several people have reported seeing damage on engine mounts caused by tie wraps. Some people will discount this, as they haven't seen it with their own eyes.
From a practical perspective, it seems that it is grit between the tie wraps and the engine mounts that provides the mechanism by which engine mounts are damaged by tie wraps. If you keep the engine mount clean, and inspect it regularly, it seems unlikely that a dangerous amount of damage would occur between inspections. The worst case that would likely occur is that you would have to buy a new engine mount and take the time to replace the old one. As long as you are prepared to potentially spend the money and time to replace an engine mount if damage does occur, there is no reason not to save a few dollars and a bit of time by dispensing with Adel clamps.
