I have no experience of the circuits above but many decades ago when I was in college (and sadly it was decades) we used to build something similar. The reason was to stop the points from switching high current which of course is what will wear the points and cause you to have to adjust them. This looks like the same principle and as the HEI unit is fairly cheap I say go for it. My advice would be to get the cart running with points first so that if you subsequently have problems you know its not the old part of the cart.
