Unless you have a specific need for a Jack plate and know exactly what you want from a Jack plate, then there is no need for one.

Tell us why you need a Jack plate.

You are already adding a fairly heavy motor and installing it on a Jack plate will make the motor sit back even further possibly bringing the bow up more.
See these weights.

Hopefully you never plan on putting on a kicker as your transom would already be maxed out.
