It's been asked before so here's a quick off the top of my head list of recovery bag contents:

2 30' straps
2 3/4" D-Rings
1 10' tree saver (even if you don't have a winch)
Snatch Block if you have a winch
Work gloves
Ratchet straps
Hi-Lift
Quality beer for Sequoia at Camp
Hi-Lift Fix it Kit
PB Blaster for sticky Hi-Lifts
Hammer
More Work Gloves
Jacket or sweater for winch lines
Tire inflation tool (CO2, compressor, etc)
 
Is this type of arrangement acceptable as a tow point?

I have an extra if someone wants to borrow it for the trip
 
It has not been a problem on any runs I have ran or lead.

Many years back that was a discussion on NAXJA, with the national BOD if I recall. Anyway after much debate it was decided that a strap whose loop fits snug in the receiver and a good receiver pin works just fine for NAXJA.
 
Is all this required for stocker type/easy runs?
Unfortunately do not have time to remove rear bumper/install my tow hitch
