Strut Replacement

Would you recommend changing all the rubber parts with the struts or can I get away with just doing the struts?

The rubber associated with the strut itself, definitely replace. The other suspension components that have rubber is a judgement call. I’d replace dry cracked rubber parts. Sway bar bushings will begin to waller out and be less effective. Cracked rubber boots (ball joints, sway bar links ,CV axles) can eventually rupture loosing the grease.

Is it absolutely necessary to replace the strut mount bearing (51726-SZA-A01 )?

No, I’ve reused, but as with anything rubber, it isn’t as good old as it is new. On a 2010, Me personally, I’d replace. If you can take it apart first to examine is the only way I consider reusing, if it looks to be in good shape.
