Would the general consensus be that the Freeride spacer is more beneficial for power transmission on a ski that will see more variable or harder snow?
I’ve got some powder planks that I only plan to tour on during the best powder days. Wondering if there’s no discernible performance boost with a Freeride spacer when it’s bottomless conditions.

well, a wider ski would usually make the extra support / power transfer more beneficial - but as you say, chances are that you won't notice too big a difference if you will only ski them in bottomless - especially if the snow is dry (less so in wetter / denser snow).
I would install a pair regardless. They weigh 29grams, so the potential upside of better power transfer when you need it and less strain on the heel tower is larger than the negative of the weight penalty and added complexity in my book.

Does the heel need to be remounted to install the freeride spacers to EVO 13s?

A couple questions here. I apologize in advance for not scouring the 231 pages in this thread to find all the answers to my questions, but I thought someone following along might know and save me a great deal of time. I've thrown some inserts into some skis that were mounted for the front brake Raider 12s. I found a pair of Front brake Raider 12s in my area that I'm going to pick up shortly, but they have brakes far too narrow for the skis I intend to put them on (86mm or 91mm vs the 120mm I need).
1) Can I simply pull the brakes and ride them with leashes or do I need brake seat covers like the later Raiders would use?
2) Would I need some sort of brake seat cover for the toes like the later Raiders use if I went brakeless?
3) Are freeride spacers compatible with the front brake Raider?
4) Lastly, does anyone have a pair of 120mm front brakes laying around that I could buy as I can't find a set online in stock?
PS if anyone needs some narrow front brakes, I may have a set for you shortly.

They come off with two or three small Allen wrenches. They don’t require a brake cover. You would need the older style spacer

I was checking out the Freeraider 14/16 vs. the new FR15 evo. It looks like they abandoned the lockable brake (actuated by the side button) in favor of the traditional spin 180 degrees to lock brake. I thought it was slick to not have to spin the tower to start hiking, were there issues with that design? (aside from the stoner move of forgetting to release the brakes on the down...)

No issues after 4 seasons and 4 pairs.
