My stock ones have the consistency of Jello. Anything would be better. Poly mounts or fill yours with window weld.

just to let u know, stiffer mounts will transmit more vibrations into the cabin, especially with the a/c on,
do one mount at a time, so you don't have a car with the feeling of the motor bolted to the frame
u can use window weld"urethane"
or flexane which is a liquid that gives better results and reduce air bubbles

In the case of my car Tak82 you are 100% wrong. My stock mounts were falling apart, and the engine was flopping around, causing severe surging under heavy acceleration. The stiff mounts make NVH levels go DOWN in such a case.
