I would agree. For COMPLETELY bulletproof install, use two gaskets.
I myself cut and made sure my plate was perfectly flat when I cut it.
Remember also that the aluminum plate (1/32") is also very maleable compared to what it is being sandwiched between and I'm sure it made a perfectly fine seal.
Want to check it? Get a friend that smokes, hold a lit cigarette near the seal while you rev up and let off the throttle. Does smoke get sucked in? If yes, then you have a leak, if not.. should be good to go.
