its important but also really expensive. yea it could break one day but you can always save up and do a motor swap when the time comes since that job is almost as much as a used H22 complete engine

You should really get your timing belt,counter balance belt, water pump, cam seal, crank seal, counterbalance seal, and oil pump seal replaced.
Or wait till the belt strips some teeth off in a few thousand miles and pay out over $1000 for a junkyard motor swap
the rough idle in reverse could be a cracked motor mount ...check the front subframe "dogbone" mount at the top of it.
