Something poly wouldnt hurt,

Have you actually looked at the trans mount. I would inspect before buying. It may be another issue completely.

could be a bad torque arm mount also, but a new trans mount wont hurt they are pretty cheap for the poly. Thats what I run and I like it feels firmer.

If you get a poly trans mount without also switching to poly motor mounts, you will be putting stress on the bellhousing and can cause it to crack.
