The insurance company probably knows the specs of the vehicles involved. They
will know that Mr. Nelson's TJ and/or Scrambler would have come from the
factory with front swaybars. If your Jeep didn't have one from the factory, you
should be OK. At the risk of sounding ominous, if it did and a PO removed it,
you are running a risk if you ever get in an accident. It's up to you.

Indeed. Before I upgraded the axles on my YJ it had a Superlift 3.5" susp
with a JKS telescoping front trackbar (no rear) and JKS sway bar
disconnects. I hauled it to Colorado for wheeling and had no intention of
reconnecting everything every time I hit pavement. To my surprise it
actually handled very well and was less prone to swing the rear end out.
Once I got it home I removed the bars and they've never seen the light of
day since. With the big axles and an RE 4.5" lift it's as stable as can be,
except when the Detroit decides to do its occasional jig .... pick your
poison.
