I don't have a lift so my center of gravity is lower but on my old factory suspension I ran for nearly a year without the anti roll bar and couldn't really see enough difference to rush to replace it but when I put the koni on and set them soft I reverted back to it. I can imagine that with a higher center of gravity it would be much more interesting with no arb.

You can drive many, many miles and never experience anything that would make you realize the bar isn't there, especially if you don't know what you're "supposed to feel", but I guarantee a sudden swerve for any reason will reveal that it's not there.
Try a quick right-left-right swerve at around 30 mph or so, both with & without and I'll bet you notice the difference.

The car can behave a bit unpredictable especially <SNIP> doing a swerve to avoid a sudden moose..
It can be OK going slow, but different at speed.

Me and a good friend was on our way to a Offroad meet southeast in Norway in my lifted SJ on 31's and soft OME-leafs and the wrong shock absorbers.
Packed with gear, spare parts and stuff doing 100kmt on the highway and out of the blue the car got violent body rolls but still went more or less straight. Managed to slow down to 80kmt and it settled. Thought about it for a bit and remembered I was on an event some months before and had removed the sway bar.
Called a friend a few miles south of us and had him find a roll bar for me for the return trip.
He was shocked to hear I had it up to those speeds so you can say that doing 100kmt or maybe even more was a bad idea.
Thankful I did not kill my friend that day.
On the return trip the car all beat up from the offroad but now with the sway bar it was steady and straight as an arrow.
Not doing that again.

Do you have a link to this - I took a quick look (in suspension components) and didn't find anything.

I'd go the disconnect route if I was you, when your on any kind of road anti roll bars in a jimny are very important.
it's not the most stable car in the world on winding roads due to designrest, especially at speed and without ARB's it could get a bit dangerous.
