As you know heat is the killer of automatics. I'd definitely add the largest cooler that will fit. some keep the bottom tank rad cooler in series with an aftermarket cooler to heat the fluid in the wintertime. Me I use only an aftermarket cooler the largest one that will fit. No problems in the dead of winter & I certainly dont romp on anything when it is cold

For Pennsylvania winters I'd run the aux cooler downstream of the radiator cooler.

The check valve prevents the cooler in side-tank radiators from draining into the trans.

Check valves can be a source of problems; to deal with the drainback problem just get in the habit of starting the engine in Neutral instead of Park.
