1) I assume ASSP will be okay with this and

unrar is only used if libarchive fails and 7zip fails - any version of 
unrar.exe should be fine

2) was this necessary?

IMHO no.

There's a vulnerability in WinRar prior to Feb 2019, dating back 19 
years.  https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2018-20252  

The strawberry perl distribution made available in CVS uses unrar.exe from 
WinRar from 2016.  I replaced this exe with the one from the latest WinRar 
distribution.

but I don't know if that dll code is rolled into unrar or what.
