I had an engine torque damper for my UA5 TL-S. For that platform, the V6 was heavy and placed a greater burden on the engine mounts under load. The torque damper helped reduce engine movements and save my engine mounts.

That being said, I think the boxer design allows for lower center of gravity such that replacing stock engine mounts with a stiffer version would be enough to control the torque pitch generated without adding extra weight. That is likely why I have not yet seen torque dampers designed for subarus.
