They're just washers that come with the flywheel bolts.

Reuse only if you want to pull the trans in a couple hundred miles just to replace a $2 bearing...

That's like asking if you need to replace your oil filter when you're doing an oil change. It's simple, it's cheap, and it's the smart thing to do.

Any good clutch kit should come with the pilot bearing, throw out bearing and the alignment tool
