Hardening metal makes it more rigid. So while it will be less likely to bend, it will be more prone to snapping. Both have it's advantages and which would be better for a motor mount I couldn't say, but at least when something bends you can usually bend it back.
A better material would likely be the better solution. A good grade of stainless, titanium or 7075 aluminum.

50$ motor plate lel
With some things, paying 3-4 times more than stock is worth it when it works and lasts. Any time a part makes it stronger and less likely to cause me to wrench on it, or cut a bash session short... I'll pay the $.

The only motor mount i found was the adjustable one from arrma and the hot racing. But they are both alluminum so..

The aluminum one from Arrma is billet meaning it is a solid piece instead of cast which is melted Down into a mould, in theory it would be much stronger then stock
