If you can finished the game before Prop 9 tech (and the TGRS) comes, then NRSE is a bonus in RW points without any drawback. But I imagine that's rare in a game. 
Rather than the question of whether the race design needs the points from NRSE, I'm wondering about the choice of trading ramscoops for the IS-10. The ramscoops are useful for being cheaper, lighter, and getting fuel back at lower warp speeds. The IS-10 allows you to go Warp 10 without risk of ship loss at Prop 11, but it's a heavy and expensive part.
When you absolutely, positively, have to get there, you go Warp 10 and take the 10% losses. But can doing Warp 10 without that risk before Prop 16 be so important that it calls for NRSE and the IS-10?
