Location: With my son on the water | I am assuming you have power trim/tilt? Correct?
In theory a hydraulic cylinder should keep a motor where you want it and should not fail. That's what is happening when you trim up or when a front end loader bucket is in the up position being driven around.
Without using the tab, the weight is on the hydraulics and it will hold it in place, but things can happen.
IMO the importance of a Transom save is that it forces you to trim the motor to the correct location so you have the proper ground clearance that is required so you don't smash your lower unit on a driveway.
You just spent $XX,XXX on a toy. Don't get cheap now so put one on.
Enjoy the new ride Dan. 
Have a good day too.
