Swaybar for regular driving?

This is not off-topic. It will be fine for OP to know more about his suspension as he modifies it...particularly that it already includes some roll control.
(In a very crude search of the Yaris rear suspension, I'm finding the terms "torsion beam rear suspension," and "semi-independent rear suspension." The main thing is to understand how it works.)

So, if I'm comprehending, you (like Jason, the gentleman that is 2 Yaris race builds deep and who appears to have the most Yaris track time logged) would vote against adding a sway bar, correct?

Yes, for what I do with the car...it already feels like a go cart to me, and I want something that drives great on choppy off-camber tertiary roads, high crown gravel, and when you have to drop a wheel over the edge trap because something big oncoming is using most of the pavement.
For auto-crossing w/ pegleg differential, more rear swaybar would give more fwd traction.
